Possible Causes

Damaged or missing dust bin gasket, Cracked dust bin, Dust bin not latched properly, Warped bin from heat exposure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the vacuum and remove the battery pack before inspecting the dust bin.

  • Check bin latching: Remove and reinstall the dust bin, ensuring all latches click securely into place.
  • Inspect gasket: Look for a rubber or foam gasket around the bin opening and cyclone connection. If it is torn, flattened, or missing, replace the gasket or the entire bin assembly.
  • Inspect for cracks: Examine the bin for hairline cracks or splits. Replace the bin if any are found.
  • Clean sealing surfaces: Wipe dust from the gasket and mating surfaces with a dry cloth to ensure a tight seal.
