iRobot Roomba Cleaning Head Module

You likely need a replacement if your Roomba is making unusually loud grinding noises, if the brushes have stopped spinning entirely, or if you notice a significant drop in its ability to pick up debris. If you have already cleaned the brushes and checked for obstructions but the performance remains poor, the internal gears or motor of the module may have worn out.

Yes, this module is designed specifically to fit the 500, 600, and 700 series. However, it is always a good idea to check your specific model number on the underside of your robot to ensure a perfect fit before purchasing.

Replacing the cleaning head module is a straightforward repair that most users can complete in about 15 to 20 minutes. You will primarily need a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the bottom cover and the old module, then simply drop the new one into place and secure it.

This module typically includes the housing, the motor, and the gear assembly required for the brushes to function. Depending on the specific kit, it may or may not include the rubber and bristle brushes, so check the product contents to see if you need to reuse your existing brushes or purchase a new set separately.

Replacing the module will restore the mechanical brush action and the efficiency of the debris collection, which is often the main culprit behind a Roomba that isn't cleaning well. While it won't change the vacuum's motor suction power, it ensures the brushes are properly agitating the carpet and directing dirt into the bin as intended.
