Cordless vacuum filter cover will not stay closed or keeps popping open

Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting the filter compartment.

• Check for obstructions: Ensure the filter is seated properly and not overstuffed. Remove any debris around the edges of the filter compartment.
• Inspect latch and hinges: Look for cracks or broken plastic on the latch hook and hinge points. Gently test the latch action.
• Replace filter cover: If the latch or hinge is damaged, replace the filter cover or entire filter housing as a unit.
• Verify correct filter: Make sure you are using the correct Bissell filter for your model; oversized or incorrect filters can prevent the door from closing fully.
