iRobot Roomba i6 Cleaning Head Module Replacement

Difficulty

Very easy

Steps

Time Required

5 - 10 minutes

Introduction

The following guide will show you how to remove and replace your cleaning head module on the Roomba i6 model. For this task you will need a long PH1 size screwdriver and a PH 2 screwdriver. You will not need to keep track of any screws.

Tools

Step 1

Using your PH2 size screwdriver, remove the edge sweeping brush by unscrewing the single screw

Step 2

Using your PH2 screwdriver, remove all 5 of the screws.
The two screws up top will keep unscrewing all the way if you don't stop. Stop unscrewing as soon as you feel a noticeable change in resistance.
After all screws are unscrewed, gently lift the bottom cover straight up from the two points the arrows are pointing to.

Step 3

It is very important to remove the battery before removing any electrically connected components, as a screwdriver could possibly cause a short in the electronics and the battery could explode.
Remove the battery by pushing the plastic clip up and lifting the battery out of the Roomba.

Step 4

Press the button to remove the dustbin and set it aside.

Step 5

Unscrew all 4 screws highlighted in red using your PH1 size screwdriver.
IMPORTANT Do not try to remove the screws. Just unscrew them until they are no longer biting any threads. When you remove the module, the screws will stay with the module.
After all screws are removed, gently lift the cleaning module by inserting your fingers into the slit highlighted in blue and lifting straight up.

Conclusion

To install the replacement module, follow these instructions in reverse order.
