Roomba iRobot repairs

Hi
Can anybody point me in the right direction, i have Roomba model 5545 .The switch has gone on it so needs repairing .I'm sure the contact details will on the paper work ,but quess what i can't find it anywhere .A internet search hasn't thrown any light on where to get it repaired ,if anybody out there has got one and can help you would be a life saver.
Thankyou

  • Have you tried cleaning it yourself - mine has 4 screws on the bottom and the whole thing moreorless comes apart - sometimes a good clean fixes it ? Domotec used to be the recommended 'fixers' but they have gone bust !!

    I think its is the switch thats gone ,i finally tracked them down but turns out theres no repair centre in uk .They wanted me to post of to Germany:eek: as much as i love my Roomba i'm not going to that expense .I have rang round local repairers ,most didn't know what i was talking about but i struck lucky and found someone who has dealt with them he has taken it away to see if he's got a switch that will fit or he will have send for the part .Fingers crossed it's the best gadget i have ever bought, but off putting when theres no uk repair centre,things do go wrong and sending to Germany isn't practicual

    Hi, mrsr.

    No need to send your robot to Germany. I repair these for a living in Walsall. Have you got it sorted?

    Per other thread - whilst I am sure you are trying to be helpful touting for business on these forums is rather frowned on. Also resurrecting old threads to do so won't win you any friends either.
