Dust bin door will not close properly or pops open during use, causing loss of suction.

Safety: Remove the battery before working on the dust bin.

• 1. Empty and clean bin: Remove all debris from the bin and around the latch area. Wipe with a dry cloth.
• 2. Inspect latch: Check the latch hook and catch for cracks or wear. Ensure the spring (if present) is intact.
• 3. Check hinge: Open and close the bin door to feel for excessive play. If the hinge is cracked or loose, the bin may not seal.
• 4. Replace bin assembly: If the latch or hinge is damaged, replace the entire dust bin assembly; individual latch parts are often not serviceable.
• 5. Avoid overfilling: Do not overfill the bin, as this can stress the latch and cause premature failure.

A secure bin door is essential for maintaining suction and preventing dust leakage.
