How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery before cleaning internal sensors.
- Clean sensor area: Locate the dust sensor near the cyclone and gently clean its window with a soft brush or compressed air.
- Ensure proper assembly: Make sure the cyclone and bin are correctly installed so air flows past the sensor.
- Test in manual high mode: If manual high mode works, the suction system is fine and the issue is sensor-related.
- If auto mode still does not respond: The dust sensor module may need replacement by a technician.
