How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning sensors.

  • Clean sensor: Wipe infrared sensor windows or mechanical switches with a soft cloth.
  • Check alignment: Ensure the emitter and receiver boards are facing each other correctly and are not loose.
  • Replace sensor: If the unit still thinks the bin is full, replace the bin level sensor assembly.
