What is wrong?
Weak pickup or dust falling out after brushes are clear. Official maintain FAQ: empty dustbin, clean/replace filter, dry thoroughly before reuse. Recurring fan faults are mail-in.
What you might notice
- Weak suction
- Dust falling out of the robot
- Filter damp or clogged
Can I fix this myself?
Triage only — hard. About 15 min + full filter drying. If the fault returns after cleaning, use mail-in repair rather than opening sealed modules.
What you need
- Clean water
- Soft cloth
Do this
- Power off. Empty the dustbin. Remove and rinse the washable filter; tap out dirt.
- Allow the filter to dry completely before reuse (a damp filter hurts suction and can cause noise).
- Reinstall dry filter and latched dustbin. Confirm main brush is clean and free.
- Retry a short clean. If weak suction continues with a dry clean filter, stop DIY and request fan/module mail-in repair.
Parts (only if cleaning fails)
- Washable filter
- Vacuum fan module (service)
