What it means
In the Roborock S6 manual table, Error 10 points to the filter: either it is not completely dry or it is blocked. The filter sits in the fan's air path, and a damp or clogged one cuts airflow until the robot stops. The manual gives the sequence: if wet, use a dry one; if dry, clean it; and if it persists, replace it. The code points to the filter, not to a fan fault.
