How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Wear gloves and a dust mask if you are sensitive to mold or dust.

  • Deep clean dustbin: Remove the dustbin and empty it. If the manual allows, wash the bin with mild soap and water, then dry completely for 24 hours.
  • Replace filter: Discard any filter that has gotten wet or shows signs of mold. Install a new genuine Wyze filter.
  • Store robot in dry area: Keep the robot and dock in a low-humidity environment with good airflow.
  • Regular maintenance: Empty the dustbin after each run to prevent organic material from sitting for long periods.
