Possible Causes
Filter installed incorrectly, Filter gasket damaged, Bin not sealing properly, Bin cracked or warped
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the robot before removing the bin.
Steps to resolve:
- Verify filter installation: Remove and reinstall the filter, ensuring it is fully seated and oriented correctly.
- Inspect filter gasket: Check the rubber or foam seal around the filter for tears or deformation; replace the filter if damaged.
- Check bin for cracks: Examine the dust bin for cracks or warping that could allow dust to escape.
- Clean bin interior: Wipe the inside of the bin with a slightly damp cloth and let it dry completely before reinstalling.
When to replace parts: If dust trails persist, replace the filter and, if necessary, the dust bin assembly.
