Roomba® i Series robot: Back-up Refused Error 88

« Go Back
Article Details

Press the bumper if you need Roomba to replay the spoken error message.

This error occurred due to the following reasons:

  • The error occurs on robots not equipped with rear cliff sensors when it is unable to back up any further due to a perceived safety issue.
    • There is a limited distance that the robot can safely back up to ensure it does not fall backward down a cliff
    • The error can occur if the robot gets stuck on a threshold, hung up near a chair, or gets into a situation where the bumper is hit when it does see an actual cliff
    • Spinning in place depletes the amount of distance that the robot can back up

To recover from this error:

Move the robot to a new nearby location and press clean to resume the mission.

If the message persists, please contact iRobot Customer Care.
