Possible Causes

Broken bin latch catch, Warped bin door, Debris obstructing latch mechanism, Worn hinge pins on bin door

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • 1. Empty and clean the bin: Remove all debris and wipe the bin and latch area with a dry cloth.
  • 2. Inspect the latch: Check the latch hook and catch for cracks or wear. Ensure the latch moves freely.
  • 3. Check the hinge: Open and close the door to see if it aligns correctly. Warped or cracked hinges will prevent proper closure.

If the latch or hinge is damaged, replace the dirt bin assembly. Do not tape the door shut, as this can affect safety and performance.
