What Error 25 Means

Robot detected an internal issue and requires a reboot. Often a transient fault.

Symptoms

  • 'Error 25, reboot Roomba'
  • Robot unresponsive to commands
  • Random behavior before error

Common Causes

1
Temporary firmware glitch

Soft hang resolved with reboot.

2
Firmware update interrupted

An OTA update did not complete cleanly.

3
Failing memory or logic board

Recurring Error 25 points to hardware degradation.

How to Fix It

  1. Press and hold CLEAN for 20 seconds (i/j/s/Combo) or 10 seconds (600/900) until the robot powers down.
  2. Wait 10 seconds, then press CLEAN to power on.
  3. In the iRobot HOME app, check for and install any firmware updates.
  4. If error persists, factory reset via app: Product Settings → Remove/Factory Reset.
  5. If error continues after factory reset, contact iRobot support — likely a hardware failure.
