Does it stop or does it stop and turn to go around the object? I would clean off the sensor. I know mine gets dusty.

I say this to everyone, you must clean out any vacuum, especially the Roomba often. My Roomba gets hair and thread wrapped around every moving part. Turn it on it's back, open the two catches on the right and left. Remove the two spinning bars. get all the hair out of every place you see it, yes even wrapped into the "axles" on each end. Also the ball white/black wheel at the front has to be pried out and the hair removed from this axle. Otherwise it can't turn as easily.

Room a 620 keeps stopping
It could be clogged with hair (when was the last time you cleaned it out?), it could be the battery isn't holding a charge any longer. It could be getting caught on something . How long is it running before stopping? I found I used to get about a two hour run from my Roomba, before the red light flashed. Then I started to unplug the charger and Roomba when it had a full charge and it wasn't needed. I noticed that after this the Roomba didn't run as long, maybe one hour, before needing a charge again. I leave it plugged in all the time now.

My roomba 400 series keeps stopping on its own
Take off the grill on the back of the bin. The round vacuum impeller is behind it. Make sure that's clean and free of debris. Run the Roomba with that little grill still off the bin-- is the impeller turning? If yes, you may have fixed it. If not, your Roomba needs a new vacuum bin.

Roomba cuts off after a minute or so.
If you have a 400 series Roomba, try removing the battery, then holding down the power button for ten seconds, then recharging the unit before you run it again.

If you have a 500 series Roomba, don't take out the battery-- just press and hold the "spot" and "dock" buttons for about fifteen seconds. The Roomba will play a tune, and you can then charge it and try running it again later.

Roomba red 4100 cleans in small circle stops starts agains cleans small circle stops then status light comes on and clean button blinks.
When the status light comes on, the Roomba is going to sing "uh-oh," and then beep a number of times. Count the beeps. They're a code that tells you what's wrong with the Roomba. You can check iRobot's website for a chart of beep codes. Search "What is Roomba saying to me?" on the troubleshooting page.

Roomba turning off after 30 sec.
I was having the same problem. Roomba would run for 30 seconds and then stop. I tried everything -- then I took the small rubber brush out and removed the small nut at the end. It was packed with dust to the point that it could not turn easily. I cleaned it out and now it is working like a champ. I think the automatic shut down was just a sign that there was too much strain to turn the brushes.
