      If your iRobot Vacuum Cleaner displays Error 1, it means Roomba is stuck with a wheel hanging down. First, make sure Roomba’s wheels are firmly on the floor. If it remains stuck, try starting it in a new location. If Roomba is not stuck, clean its side wheels of any hair and debris. Push the wheels in and out to ensure they turn freely.
