Possible Causes
Worn or broken latch hooks on dust container, Damaged latch catch on main body, Misaligned container due to impact, Debris obstructing latch mechanism
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery before inspecting the latch.
- Inspect latch surfaces: Check the plastic hooks and catches on both the container and main body. Look for cracks, wear, or deformation.
- Clean latch area: Remove dust and debris from the latch using a brush. Ensure nothing prevents full engagement.
- Test engagement: Refit the container and pull gently to confirm it locks securely. If it still releases easily, the latch parts are worn.
- Replace damaged parts: Replace the dust container or main body latch component with original Kärcher parts.
