Error 33 means your Roomba cannot complete cleaning and has cancelled its cleaning job.
- Ensure there were no changes to the environment during the cleaning cycle (i.e. closed door, moved furniture).
- It is possible for your Roomba to drive over transitions, such as doorway thresholds, that it cannot drive over again to leave the area.
- Ensure the house has adequate light (daylight or dim lighting is sufficient) for your Roomba to navigate. Extremely dark rooms could obscure the iAdapt® localization camera and cause problems with navigation and coverage.
- Excessive clutter could contribute to this error. Clear cluttered areas.
- Ensure the camera is clear of any dust or debris. Wipe the clear window on the top surface using a microfiber or soft cotton cloth that has been lightly dampened with water or a screen cleaning solution.
