LED display shows a bin icon with an error; the unit refuses to start.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Dust bin not fully latched, Broken bin latch, Faulty bin presence microswitch, Misaligned magnet/reed sensor

Safety: Remove the battery before adjusting the bin.

Remove and reinstall the bin: Detach the dust bin and reattach it firmly until it clicks. Ensure the bottom flap is fully closed.
Inspect the latch: Check for cracks or deformation in the bin latch that might prevent full engagement.
Check the sensor area: Look for a small switch or magnet area where the bin meets the body. Clean away dust that might block movement.
Test with gentle pressure: With the bin installed, gently press it toward the body while trying to start the vacuum. If it runs only when pressed, the latch or switch is misaligned and may require replacement.
