Einleitung
I live in the country with Dogs, Cats, Dirt, Mud and no cliffs. We do have dark knotty LVP flooring. We launch our Roomba every night at 1:00am… This is my second one and over the last few months the cliff-sensors (which are not sealed) continue to say “Eek! Cliff!” right in the middle of the floor… Sometimes after traveling 1-2 feet from the last falsely detected cliff.. Since the dust has built up inside the sensor wiping and cleaning the sensors made no difference.
Before throwing out the Roomba I decided to perform one-way surgery on the cliff sensors in order to completely disable the ability of the Roomba to detect a cliff

-
The sensor is easily disassembled by lifting the two small plastic latches on the side. Once the cover is removed you could clean the sensor and replace it....
-
Since I'm very tired of Error-6 messages and will not be adding stairs to my dirty house I opted to alter the sensor so that it will never detect a cliff falsely or otherwise.
-
These sensors work by emitting an IR light from one side and since there are baffles in the sensor it must bounce off a floor to reach the detector in the other side.

-
THIS STEP CANNOT BE UNDONE.
-
I removed the baffles from the sensor so that the detector and emitter have a direct line of sight to each other
-
I used a small pair of wire cutters to cut out the baffles as needed
-

-
I put the Roomba back together and it cleaned until the battery was dead... For the first time in months...

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Thanks a lot David
Did this, but still get “ move rooms to a new location and press start!
I had been using aluminum foil raped to the detectors, but this seems like a better approach. My foil would get worn or dislodged occasionally.
