FAQs
Why Does My Roomba Keep Saying to Reinstall the Bin?
They call it a bin error. If the dustbin wasn’t installed correctly, this could happen. Verify that it snaps into place properly. By lifting the lid, try to determine if the Bin is still open.
However, if it does so quickly, your Roomba has broken down because either something is obstructing its wheels or there is not enough suction to enable it to work properly.
Can I Wash the Roomba Bin in a Dishwasher?
It can’t go in the dishwasher. It is only meant to be rinsed by hand. It cannot be washed, put in a dishwasher, or submerged in water for cleaning.
When the Bin needs to be cleaned, take it out of the Roomba, rinse it with warm tap water, and then completely dry it before putting it back in.
Reattach it to the vacuum and turn on WiFi so that it can resume its regular cleaning schedule.
How Do I Know When My Roomba Bin is Full?
When the light at the base of the trash can begins to flash, it is full. When the Roomba bin needs to be emptied, it will start to flash.
The fact that you won’t get very far in your cleaning routine before emptying your bin is a great indicator.
