DIRECT ANSWER

Error 32 means the Smart Map on the robot no longer matches the app's copy. Jobs won't start or rooms go missing. Check the map in the app, revert to an earlier version, then reboot the robot.

COMMON CAUSES · RANKED

1

Map edited mid-sync MOST COMMON

Renaming rooms or moving dividers while the robot was away from Wi-Fi leaves two different maps.

2

Corrupted map version

A bad map update on the robot side stops matching what the app stores.

HOW TO FIX IT

No battery or electrical work involved in this fix.

Review the Smart Map

Open the map section in the app, confirm the layout looks right, and retry the job.

Revert to a previous map

In History, open a Clean Map report from a successful run and choose Update Smart Map.

Reboot the robot

Hold CLEAN for about twenty seconds. If the mismatch survives, contact iRobot support.
