Questions and answers
where on a irobot roomba can i find the model number
The model number of an iRobot Roomba can often be found as the third item on the screen under "About Roomba" in the product settings of the iRobot app. If it is not displayed there, some Roombas have their model or series numbers printed directly on the device.

the spray nozzle is not working
where is #14 error
Error 14 on the iRobot Roomba indicates that the robot is not detecting the bin properly. This can be caused by dirty or faulty contacts, an improperly inserted bin, or a malfunctioning bin motor. If cleaning the contacts and bin does not resolve the issue, the motor inside the bin may have continuity problems, meaning it could be partially burnt out. Replacing the motor or the entire bin can fix the problem.
