Possible Causes
Dust on bin full sensor, Reflective debris stuck near sensor, Sensor misalignment, Faulty bin full sensor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the robot before removing the bin.
Steps to resolve:
- Clean bin and sensor windows: Empty the bin and wipe all internal surfaces. Pay special attention to any small clear windows or sensor housings.
- Clean robot-side sensor: Look into the bin cavity on the robot for the matching sensor window and wipe it gently.
- Reinstall bin firmly: Ensure the bin is fully seated and latched.
When to replace parts: If false full messages continue, replace the bin assembly. If that does not help, the internal bin full sensor board may need replacement.
