Roomba i3 i3+ Clean Base clogged / poor evacuation

FM-24

Symptom: The Clean Base runs but the robot bin still has debris afterward, the base is louder/weaker than usual, or fine dust blows around the dock. Likely root causes: Clog in the evacuation path: robot bin port, the dock funnel/ramp opening, or the tube to the bag; Hair wrapped at the bin port so the door can't fully open; Bag full or torn (see FM-23); Large or stringy debris (socks, cords, tinsel) jamming the funnel Next steps if owner-level checks fail: Evacuation stays weak with a clear port, funnel, tube and a fresh bag — the Clean Base motor may be failing; contact iRobot Customer Care 1-877-855-8593
