How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before opening any covers near the sensor area.

  • Locate sensor: On many Xiaomi cordless vacuums, the dust sensor is located near the air path or cyclone outlet, behind a small window or grille.
  • Clean sensor window: Use a soft, dry brush or a microfiber cloth to gently clean the sensor window. Do not use liquids or sharp tools.
  • Blow out dust: Use compressed air (short bursts) to clear dust from the sensor chamber. Keep the can upright to avoid moisture.
  • Check connector (advanced): If accessible, verify that the sensor's small connector is firmly seated on the PCB.
  • If F6 remains: The dust sensor module or its circuit is defective. Replace the dust sensor PCB or the entire main body assembly, depending on parts availability.
