Left Wheel Not Moving
My Roomba was runninng early one morning while I was sleeping and my dog happened to vomit on the floor it was cleaning. When I noticed it the Roomba had stop right in it. I thoroughly cleaned it and let everything dry. The next day the Roomba would just spin in a circle. I saw that the left wheel was not moving so I purchased a new left wheel module thinking the motor was damaged from the accident. After replacing the wheel module the Roomba still spins in a circle. No Error messages are giving so I don't know where to go at this point.
