Roomba: Charging Error 6 or 7
The battery is too warm or too cold to charge, so the robot has stopped charging to protect it.
Applies to: Roomba 500 to 900 series, e, i, j and s series. What you notice: red light, steady (solid); error number 6 or 7. This number is iRobot’s; on another maker’s robot the same number means something else.
What iRobot says to do
- Let the robot come to room temperature, then try charging again.
- If that does not fix it, contact iRobot Customer Care.
