- Roomba® 500 series beeps 7 times or says “Error seven (7).”
Overview
Error 7 means the Side Wheels or Left Wheel cannot turn. This can happen if Roomba® was started on an uneven surface or got stuck on an obstacle. If this is the case, lift Roomba® off the floor and place it in the center of the room, and restart the clean cycle. Use Dual Mode Virtual Wall® Barriers to block off problem areas. Otherwise, please check the wheels:

-
Check the wheels for obstructions.
-
Push the wheels up and down and shake out any loose debris that may be trapped in the wheel well.
-
Briskly turn both wheels by hand and make sure they turn freely and that each wheel exhibits the same amount of resistance. If a wheel cannot be turned by hand, place Roomba on the floor and manually push Roomba backwards and forwards, about 1 ft (.3 m).
-
If compressed air is available, gently blow air into the wheel well.
