Why won't iRobot Roomba create a new map

January 14, 2024

Discover why your iRobot Roomba isn't creating new maps and learn troubleshooting tips to fix mapping issues and optimize your cleaning experience.

Why won't iRobot Roomba create a new map

 

Possible Reasons for iRobot Roomba Not Creating a New Map

 

  • Old Map Still Active: Sometimes, a Roomba continues to rely on an existing map when in use. It may not create a new map if it's operating under the assumption that the old map is still accurate.
  •  

  • Software Glitches: Occasional software glitches can stop Roomba from resetting or creating a new map. This could be due to a fault in the update or a minor bug affecting the mapping process.
  •  

  • Insufficient Cleaning Cycles: If Roomba hasn't completed enough cleaning cycles in the area, it might not have sufficient data to generate a new map.
  •  

  • Low Battery or Interrupted Charge: A low battery that interrupts the Roomba during cleaning can prevent a new map from being generated. Similarly, if Roomba doesn’t return to its base properly, it might not update the map correctly.
  •  

  • Obstacles and Furniture Movement: Frequent changes in furniture placement or new obstacles can confuse the Roomba, making it difficult to create an accurate new map.

 

How to Fix the Problem

 

  • Reset or Delete Existing Map: You may need to delete the existing map through the iRobot Home app. This can force Roomba to create a new map during the next cleaning session.
  •  

  • Update Software: Ensure that the Roomba and its app are updated to the latest versions. Check if there have been any updates released by iRobot that might fix mapping issues.
  •  

  • Allow Complete Cleaning Cycles: Make sure Roomba completes entire cleaning cycles without interference. This means avoiding the relocation of the charging base during cleaning.
  •  

  • Charge Fully Before Use: Always start with a fully charged Roomba to avoid disruption. Ensure it docks properly to save mapping data.
  •  

  • Reduce Room Changes: Try to stabilize the Roomba’s environment during mapping. Avoid moving furniture or adding new obstacles during the mapping process.
  •  

  • Contact Support if Needed: If the problem persists, reach out to iRobot customer support for further assistance and diagnostics.
