Troubleshooting

- Poor Debris Pickup: Check that the main brushes (bristle and flexible beater) are free of tangles and installed correctly. Ensure the side brush is spinning freely.
- Unusual Noises: Verify that all brushes are properly seated and not obstructed by debris.
- General Performance Issues: Always ensure genuine or compatible replacement parts are used. Refer to your Roomba's original manual for specific error codes or further troubleshooting steps.
