Dust bin door will not latch closed, causing dust to leak out.

Safety first: Remove the battery pack before handling the bin assembly.

• Step 1 – Clean latch area: Open the bin door and remove any dust or debris around the latch and hinge using a dry brush.
• Step 2 – Inspect latch hook: Check for cracks or missing pieces on the plastic latch and the catch on the bin body.
• Step 3 – Check alignment: Gently press the door closed and observe whether the latch lines up with the catch. Warped plastic may prevent proper engagement.
• Step 4 – Replace bin assembly: If the latch is broken or the bin is warped, replace the entire dust bin assembly with a genuine Essentials part.

Warning: Do not tape the bin door shut as a long-term fix; this can affect airflow and safety.
