How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery and empty the bin before working on the latch.

  • Step 1 – Clean latch area: Remove any dust or debris from the latch and catch surfaces.
  • Step 2 – Inspect for damage: Check the plastic latch hook and catch for cracks or missing pieces.
  • Step 3 – Test closure: Close the bin door firmly until it clicks. If it will not stay closed, the latch is likely broken.
