Robot vacuum error codes — kept brand-specific

Why there is no universal robot-vacuum error dictionary

Error numbers are assigned by each manufacturer and sometimes by a specific product family. The same number can describe charging on one robot, a sensor on another, and something unrelated on a third. Even within one brand, a current multifunction station may use codes that never existed on an older vacuum-only model. That is why this index keeps the code attached to brand, model and source scope instead of merging numbers into a single generic table.

Match the complete signal before following a fix

Use the number together with the app wording, voice message or light pattern. If the page covers “Error 13 charging contacts” but your exact model uses Error 13 for a different subsystem, stop and return to the brand index. For light-only alerts, note color, steady versus flashing behavior and which indicator is lit. Those details can be as important as a numeric code.

After opening a guide, check the evidence label and manufacturer URL. “Official model support” is the strongest scope because the source names that model or family directly. An official manual can also be exact when the model is in the manual. Broader manufacturer-general evidence is useful for a shared maintenance procedure, but the guide should say when a meaning is not proven model-specific.

What to record if a code returns

If a reversible cleaning, reseat or reboot clears the alert only briefly, record how long it took to return and what the robot was doing at that moment. Repeated alerts after a documented pass condition are more useful to support than repeated resets. Do not bypass safety sensors or open batteries, motors or mains-powered station electronics to chase an error number beyond the owner-level path.
