Do you have a question about the Roomba i3 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Just got my I3 roomba. It is charging but no ring light is on.
The ring light on your iRobot Roomba i3 may not be on while charging because the robot could be experiencing charging issues. Possible reasons include:
1. Power Conversion Issue: Since you are using a down converter from 220V to 110V, there may be insufficient or unstable power reaching the charging base.
2. Charging Dock Behavior: The Roomba repeatedly reversing off and back onto the dock suggests difficulty establishing a stable charging connection.
3. Battery Drain: If the battery is completely flat, it may take some time before the charging indicator activates.
4. Hardware Issue: Some users report similar problems after updates or due to battery-related malfunctions, which may require contacting the manufacturer for a replacement.
You can try checking the power converter, ensuring proper dock contact, resetting the Roomba, or replacing the battery. If the issue persists, contacting iRobot support may be necessary.

My i3 roomba is not charging despite a new battery of two months. I have cleaned all contacts on charger and on the robo. The robo is less than two year years old. Thank you
Your iRobot Roomba i3 may not be charging even with a new battery due to several possible reasons:
1. Power Conversion Issue – You are using a down converter to reduce 220V to 110V. If the converter is not providing stable power, the charging base may not function properly.
2. Dirty Charging Contacts – The charging contacts on the Roomba and the base may have dust or dirt. Clean them with a dry cloth or a light soap solution.
3. Sensor Issues – The charging station and the Roomba have sensors that must be clean and properly aligned. Ensure they are free of dust and working correctly.
4. Spring Mechanism in Base – The charging base has spring-loaded contacts. If they are not functioning properly, the Roomba may not maintain a proper connection.
5. Damaged Charging Base or Battery – Inspect the battery and charging base for any visible damage or leakage. A faulty charging base may not deliver power correctly.
6. Loose Power Connection – Ensure the charging base is plugged in securely and the power adapter is functioning properly.
Try these troubleshooting steps, and if the issue persists, consider testing with a different power adapter or contacting iRobot Customer Care.
