Quick answers
What is wrong?
Auto-empty does not run — disabled in app, missing dust cover/bag, DND, manual dock placement, low battery, or blocked air path (Qrevo Edge manual).
What you might notice
- Dustbin still full after docking
- Unusual noise when emptying
- No auto-empty after clean
Can I fix this myself?
Often yes with careful cleaning. Difficulty: medium · about 15-30 min. If unsure or it returns after parts cleaning, use mail-in repair.
What you need
- Soft cloth
- Replacement dust bag
Do this
- In the app, confirm auto-emptying is enabled and not blocked by DND timing.
- Install the dock dust container cover and a disposable dust bag before use.
- Note: auto-empty will not trigger if the robot returned without cleaning, was moved onto the dock manually, or battery is under 10% — charge above 10% and start emptying manually if needed.
- If emptying is noisy or weak, check main brush cover fit and clear blockages in the filter, air duct, suction inlet, dustbin, or dust bag path.
- Empty the dustbin manually if emptying has been unused for a long period and clear the air inlet.
Parts (only if cleaning fails)
- Disposable dust bag
- Washable filter
