Press the bumper if you need Roomba® to replay the spoken error message.
Error 89 occurred because the robot was not able to complete the cleaning mission within a reasonable period of time and returned to the dock.
Most robots will run a cleaning mission, with Recharge and Resume occurring as needed, for up to 12 hours to clean. If cleaning time during a mission exceeds the robot’s limitations, it will return to the dock.
To recover from this error:
- Check for obstacles that could be interfering with the robot’s ability to efficiently clean the space, remove, and retry
- Use cleaning zones to divide the space into smaller sections and run multiple cleaning missions
If the message persists, please contact iRobot® Customer Care.
