Possible Causes

Damaged or missing bin gasket, Cracked dust bin, Bin not latched properly, Warped bin lid

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery pack before inspecting the bin.

Inspect seals and bin:

  • Remove the dust bin and check the rubber gasket around the bin or cyclone outlet for tears, flattening, or missing sections.
  • Inspect the bin body and lid for cracks.

Refit correctly:

  • Ensure the bin is fully seated and latched until it clicks.

Replace any damaged gaskets or the entire dust bin assembly to restore a proper seal and prevent dust leakage.
