Robot vacuum or app reports “Bin error: Reinstall or empty the bin” even when the bin is installed.

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

Steps to resolve:

• Empty and clean bin: Remove the bin, empty it completely, and wipe the interior, especially near any small windows or levers used for the full sensor.
• Clean sensor windows: On models with optical bin sensors, gently wipe the small clear windows inside the bin and on the robot with a dry cloth.
• Reinstall bin firmly: Slide the bin back in until it clicks. Ensure no debris is blocking the bin rails.
• Reset robot: Perform a soft reset and test again.

When to replace parts: If the bin error persists with a clean, properly seated bin, the bin sensor or bin assembly may need replacement.
