Resistance in right wheel/"error 5"
I've been getting the "Error 5 right" message on my Roomba 650. The right wheel seems to have twice the resistance of the left wheel. I took out the wheel module, opened it up and cleaned everything out. The problem persisted so I ordered a new wheel module. Still no luck. Then I noticed something very odd: the wheel has normal resistance when it's out of the Roomba but as soon as I lower it into place the resistance immediately doubles. Even with the battery removed this happens. I've very meticulously cleaned out the wheel well and it makes no difference. I've also cleaned the optical sensors and tried doing the Spot/Dock reset. Nothing. Any ideas??
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

I called them about it and they said I need a new robot. They will sell you just the robot part for $199 and you use your own charger & battery and maybe a couple of the other parts

I had same problem and ordered a new wheel - still same problem. they offered to sell me the core unit for 20% off - which they said would cost around $330. I declined and returning part. We haven't used it on a daily bases so would have thought it would last longer than a year or so. :-(
