Not sure if this was the right forum, but I figured someone could help. The vacuum motor on my Roomba 880 stopped working. Just to confirm it's the motor, how can I use a multimeter to confirm?

The picture shows the motor and the positive and negative leads to it, which are connected to those metal tabs.

How many volts does the motor take?

Best way is to try it from a known good power source by hooking it up directly.


Here is a link to checking it with a meter:

Thanks. When I did that test, it showed 0v the entire time.
