The fix
Roborock washable HEPA filter
HEPA filter clogged with dust, restricting airflow
Diagnose first: Tap out and air-dry the filter for 24 hours before reinstalling — a wet filter triggers the same error as a clogged one. Replace outright once the filter is past ~150-200 hours of use or won't come clean.

How to fix it
- Remove the dustbin and pull out the HEPA filter.
- Tap the filter against a trash can to dislodge loose dust.
- If the filter is washable, rinse only the plastic frame side under cool water — never wet the filter media.
- Air dry the filter for at least 24 hours before reinstalling.
- Empty the dustbin completely.
- If suction is still weak after cleaning, replace the filter.
