Display shows F1, dust container icon flashing, vacuum will not start

Safety first: Remove the battery before adjusting the dust container.

• Remove and refit bin: Take off the dust container completely and reinstall it, ensuring it slides into place and the latch clicks firmly.
• Inspect latch and hooks: Check for cracks or wear on the bin latch and the hooks on the main body. Replace the bin if the latch is damaged.
• Check seal alignment: Ensure the rubber or silicone seals around the bin opening are seated correctly and not preventing full closure.
• Sensor check: Some models use a small magnet in the bin and a reed sensor in the body. Verify the magnet is still present in the bin rim and not dislodged.
• Replace if necessary: If F1 persists with a correctly fitted bin, the bin detection sensor or housing may need replacement by a technician.
