It may be that you are not cleaning the brushes of your Roomba often enough, and hair is preventing the brushes from spinning properly. Different models have slightly different behaviors when it comes to displaying the error codes: some just beep, some announce the error in actual words. But fortunately, Roomba error 5 are mostly identical between the different models.The Roomba says �Error 1: Move Roomba to a new location then press CLEAN to start.� This is usually due to the Roomba getting stuck or a side wheel hanging. The spinning brushes are unable to turn. This is usually due to something like hair getting stuck in the brushes. Take out the spinning brushes or rollers underneath the Roomba as shown in this iRobot video, clear it of any obstructions, then put the brushes back in place.
