How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before working near sensors.

  • Test sensor function: Use a multimeter to check the sensor or switch changes state when the bin is full/empty. Replace if it does not.
  • Check wiring to PCB: Reseat connectors and inspect for damage.
  • Control board: If the sensor works but the unit ignores it, the main PCB may need replacement.
