Robot shows F17 and may not detect the dust bin correctly; may say the bin is missing or not fitted.

Safety first: Turn the robot OFF before removing the bin.

• Remove and refit bin: Take out the dust bin/cyclone unit and reinstall it firmly until it clicks.
• Inspect latch: Check the bin latch and hooks for cracks or deformation. Replace the bin if the latch cannot hold it securely.
• Check sensor area: Look for a small switch or magnet area where the bin meets the body. Clean away dust with a dry brush.

If the robot still reports F17 with a correctly seated bin, the bin sensor or main board input may be faulty and require service.
