Hi, I have just replaced the side wheel modules on my 630. Now Roomba only goes in circles and after 2 minutes stops with error 10. Is it possible the new wheels are incorrectly installed?

HI Lorraine
Error 10 is advising there is an issue with wheels. Is you Roomba turning left or right when it spins?

How does this model work with an app, didn’t think that was an option.

Not sure with 630 as I bought the 670, with 670 it’s basically just to activate the clean button, pause and send home. Always help with notifications if there’s error or roomba needed help. If you get the higher range, I think you can navigate or set up cleaning area and schedules. Hope it helps. ;)

Sadly the iRobot Roomba 630 is not a wifi enabled Roomba. This can only be operated manually.

I purchased this machine in January 2014. I am wondering if I need a new battery as it only runs for about 10 mins before saying "recharge"

Good Morning Bev D,
Based on the age of the Roomba, and it only running for a short time, I would be recommending replacing the battery.
To be a 100% sure, you can remove the charging cable from the home base and plug this directly into the Roomba. if you find you are still only getting 10 minutes, the battery is defiantly the issue. These can be purchased from our online store www.shopirobot.com.au or by contacting our office on 1300 727 421.

Our 630 fails to dock correctly. It'll home in on the station and attempt to dock, but then it pushes itself off and goes through the same routine of trying to dock. It'll make a few attempts and then go off around the room again before lining up for another go with the same result. I've followed the instructions of cleaning contacts and sensors and also all the power lead checks. Also removed battery and re-inserted with same results. Is there any advise you can provide?

Good Morning Steve
Your Roomba no longer docking on the home base correctly could be for a number of reasons. We recommend cleaning your charging contacts on the Roomba and the home base with a pencil eraser or a scotch brite sponge. You will find this will remove the grim build up that could be stopping your Roomba from registering it is home.
If you found you are still having problems, please contact our office on 1300 727 421 with reference C0160414 and we can provide more troubleshooting.

Good Morning Tinika M
Thank you for getting in touch with us. Units manufactured from 2016 had a change made, that the Unit and Home Base will flash approx 4 times and than go out as an energy saving mode. The Roomba will be fully charged in approx 3-4 hours. We do recommend keeping the Roomba on the base at all times, unless you are planning on not using it for more the 2 weeks. At which time as advise the remove the battery from the Roomba.
If you have any further questions, please not hesitate to contact us directly on 1300 727 421.

Hi
I’ve just installed a new Xlife battery for my 630 iRobot and I’m still getting multiple charging errors and to add to that the motor is on but the unit stays stationary. I’ve also taken apart the wheels, brushes and cleaned all the sensors but without any success in resolving the issue.

Is there anything else that might fix the problem?

Droverasked

We have a Roomba 630 that worked very well for a couple of years. I cleaned it and I think it got wet, so we dried it out. Now as soon as I install the battery the motor starts to run before I even get the bottom cover re-installed. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how to stop the motor running? Thanks

Hi, I purchased Roomba 630 second hand, they replaced the battery after saying that Err 3 continually came on. We had the same problem after purchasing and did the reset, this worked for a couple of uses and is now doing it again. The Roomba also isn’t charging at the dock. I’ve also tried to direct charge the Roomba and err 3 comes up when doing that also. Any ideas?

Sadly the Roomba 630 was discontinued late last year. This a since been replaced by the Roomba 637, which is very similar. The main difference between these models is that the 637 now comes with a lithium ion battery.
