Cordless vacuum dirt bin door will not latch or pops open during use

Safety first: Remove the battery before working on the dirt bin.

• Inspect latch area: Check the latch hook and catch on the bin and main body for cracks or missing pieces.
• Clean mechanism: Remove any dust or debris from the latch area. A small brush or compressed air can help.
• Check alignment: Ensure the bin is seated correctly and not twisted. Misalignment can prevent proper latching.
• Replace bin: If the latch tab or hinge is broken, replace the entire dirt bin assembly with a genuine Bissell part.
• Avoid overfilling: Do not pack debris into the bin; overfilling can stress the latch and cause it to open during use.
