How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the robot before removing the dust bin.
- Clean bin and sensor: Wipe the bin surfaces and the sensor area inside the robot with a dry cloth.
- Check bin fit: Ensure the bin slides in smoothly and clicks into place without gaps.
- Inspect magnet or tab: Verify that any magnet or plastic tab used for detection is intact and not loose.
- If false alerts continue: Replace the dust bin sensor switch assembly or the dust bin if its magnet/tab is damaged.
