How do I fix base station will not empty the dustbin?

Close the dust-tank cover and check the dust bag is fitted; replace it if full. Clear debris from the dust-collection ports on the robot, station, and dust box. In the Dreame app, enable Dust Collection and turn off or adjust Do Not Disturb. Wipe the window near the charging electrodes with a dry tissue. If emptying still fails with a new bag and clear ports, the station blower or air path needs repair.
