Roomba 560 beeps 9 times; we've cleaned the sensors and the bumper seems to move properly, yet it still stops and beeps 9 times. Any other ideas?

Yes, this is known issue and if your bumper moves freely, you might be facing a sensor fault caused by poor quality of components.
Here is a guide to fix it

I tried this soloution too i get it into the test mode pushed on the bumpers and got a green led on both sides. Mine comes out of the dock moves around spins and code 9 is there a test for the wheel sensors
Brian, read my manual, it has a test explained in the start ;-)

The bump switch may still be making contact or the wheel drop sensors (left, right, and caster) can also cause this behavior. Its also possible for a sensor to become defective in whcih case cleaning won't fix it.
Oliver, 9 beep has nothing to do with drop sensors ;-( RTFM
avi_4sale - it isn't supposed to on the 500 series, only the 400, but iRobot self diagnostics aren't the best when confronted with intermittent or multiple failures. BTW the iRoboot site and phone support are probably more useful to the average consumer than someone who trying to peddle them parts they can't hope to install at $10 for a part even Jameco sells for $0.19. If a consumer has the skills to disassemble the Roomba and do the soldering to replace an IR sensor, they aren't posting messages on FixYa asking what 9 beeps means.
