Roomba is easy to use, but it is also prone to errors. The robot is designed to run only in its optimum conditions, and if anything is out of order, it will show an error message. The Error 14 or 1-4 on Roomba, in particular, is common when the bin of the unit is not closing properly.
The bin may not close due to hardware defects related to the contacts of the bin. When this happens, the error 14 or 1-4 shows up, meaning Roomba is not detecting an installed Bin. Without detecting the Bin, the Roomba won’t initiate the cleaning process. Hence, here in this article, we will look at all the possible solutions for it. So without any further ado, let’s get into it.
How to Fix Error 14 or 1-4 on Roomba?
You should be able to fix this error simply by properly cleaning the robot entirely. Since this error is related to the bin of the unit, you should ensure that it is connected to your unit properly.
I did all the things you suggested. When I turned the robot on it went for about a second and stopped suddenly…Error 14. The dust bin fits well but there seems to be some vertical play. Have you had this issue and how to fix it. Don’t know how to “wedge” something to keep it tight. Thanks
