Dirt cup will not latch securely or falls off during use

Safety first: Remove the battery before working around the dirt cup latch.

• Step 1 – Clean latch area: Remove the dirt cup and clean any dust or debris from the latch and catch surfaces.
• Step 2 – Inspect for damage: Check the plastic latch hook on the cup and the catch on the body for cracks or wear.
• Step 3 – Test engagement: Reinstall the cup and ensure it clicks firmly into place. If it still feels loose, the latch components are likely worn.
• Step 4 – Replace parts: Replace the dirt cup assembly or main body latch component as needed.
