Possible Causes

Clogged primary filter, HEPA filter saturated, Dust bin full, Partial blockage in suction inlet or air duct

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn the robot OFF and remove the dust bin.

  • Empty dust bin: Completely empty the bin and wipe it clean.
  • Clean or replace filters: Remove the primary and HEPA filters. Tap gently to remove dust or wash if the manual allows. Replace filters if they are deformed or very dirty.
  • Check suction inlet: Inspect the opening under the main brush and inside the bin cavity for clogs. Remove any debris.
  • Reassemble and test: Reinstall filters and bin, then run the robot and check suction by feeling airflow at the exhaust.
