Possible Causes

Broken bin latch, Warped bin door, Debris in latch mechanism, Damaged hinge pins

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Inspect latch area: Check the latch hook and catch for cracks or missing pieces. Remove any dust or debris that may prevent full closure.
  • Check hinge: Open and close the bin door while observing the hinge. If it is loose or misaligned, the bin may not seal correctly.
  • Clean and lubricate lightly: Clean the latch with a dry brush. If the latch is stiff, a tiny amount of dry silicone spray (applied to a cloth, then wiped on) can help, but avoid getting lubricant on seals.
  • Replace bin assembly: If the latch or hinge is broken, replace the entire dust bin assembly with a Bush-compatible part.
