Robot Vacuum Error Guides
Robot vacuum guides hub · Last verified 29 Oct 2026 · Every guide is sourced from the manufacturer’s official support documentation
What’s here: plain-English decoders for every robot vacuum error code, beep and light pattern, with the fix for each, sourced from the manufacturer’s own support documentation and dated so you know it’s current.
Robot vacuums fail loudly but talk in codes: a number on a screen, a repeating beep, a blinking light. iRobot’s Roomba line is the starting point for this section, and its two most common errors, the bin-detection pair 14 and 15, have documented causes that most guides garble. Each guide here states the code, what the manufacturer says it means, and the fix in order.
