The Main Brush is stuck


  1. Remove the brush from the Neato
  2. Start a cleaning run with the brush removed. If the error message returns, please contact customer support.
  3. If the error does not return, please clean the brush thoroughly. Make sure no hair is caught on the brush. Then place it back into the Neato and try to turn the brush manually. It should spin freely.
  4. If the brush does not spin freely, you may require a replacement brush. Accessories can be purchased on the Neato website.
