Proceed carefully and stop if the check is unclear.
Urgency
Medium
Quick answer
Roborock shows Error 14, battery error: according to the manual, the battery temperature is too high or too low. Leave the robot in a room at normal temperature until the battery returns to normal before using it.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- If the robot looks swollen or deformed, is very hot at rest or smells burnt, do not charge or open it. Only authorized service should handle the lithium battery.
- Do not use the robot outside the 4 °C to 40 °C range given in the manual or store it discharged for long periods: the manual asks you to charge it at least every three months.
Safe checks you can perform
- Let the battery return to temperature
- Dock placement
- Check the robot from outside
Leave these tasks to a qualified professional
- Do not attempt this professional task: Battery diagnosis
- Do not attempt this professional task: Charge and run test after repair
What a technician must be able to justify

These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Battery diagnosis
What they doRoborock service tests the battery and its temperature sensing with workshop equipment.
They must show youthe battery test result against the manufacturer's specification.
In writingwhether the battery is replaced, its reference and the reason.
Charge and run test after repair
What they doThe technician checks a full charge and a cleaning job without Error 14.
They must show youthe full charge and the job.

Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Checks and evidence, step by step
Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.

Let the battery return to temperature
No special tools
Procedure
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- move the robot to a room at normal temperature, out of direct sun and away from radiators or heat vents, and wait before using it again.
- Result that matters:
- whether the error goes away once the robot is at normal room temperature.
- If it goes away:
- it was temperature; do not leave the robot or dock in cold or hot areas.
- If it continues at normal temperature:
- check where the dock is.
- Evidence to keep:
- a note of the approximate temperature and how long you waited.

Dock placement
No special tools
Procedure
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- check the dock is not in direct sunlight or next to a heat source, as the manual asks, and move it if needed.
- Result that matters:
- whether the error stops appearing while charging after moving it.

- heat near the dock was warming the battery.
- If it continues:
- contact after-sales.
- Evidence to keep:

What it means
In the Roborock S6 manual table, Error 14 is a battery error that the manufacturer explains by temperature: the battery is too hot or too cold. The control protects the lithium battery and will not run or charge outside its range. The manual says to use the robot between 4 °C and 40 °C. If the error appears at normal temperature it is no longer explained by the room and service must assess it. The code does not prove the battery is damaged.
