This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

Possible Causes

Impact damage to dust bin, Broken locking tabs, Cracked main body shell around bin seal

Safety: Remove the battery before inspecting for cracks.

Visual inspection: Examine the dust bin and surrounding body for visible cracks or broken clips.
Check bin latch: Ensure the bin locks firmly and does not move when pulled gently.
Test suction with gentle pressure: Run the vacuum and gently press the bin into the body. If suction improves, there is likely a leak at the bin interface.
Replace damaged parts: Replace the Hoover H-Free dust bin assembly or main body shell as required. This may require professional disassembly.
