Numatic Bin / Dust Container Interlock Fault

Vacuum will not start and shows a bin or door icon, even though the dust bin appears closed

Possible Causes

Misaligned dust bin, Broken bin latch, Faulty bin presence microswitch, Deformed bin seal preventing full closure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before adjusting the bin.

  • Remove and refit bin: Take the dust bin off completely and refit it carefully, ensuring it engages all guides and clicks into place.
  • Inspect latch and hooks: Check for cracks or wear on the bin latch and hooks on the main body. Replace the bin if the latch is damaged.
  • Check for debris: Make sure no debris is trapped around the bin seal or latch area, preventing full closure.

If the bin icon remains on with a correctly fitted bin, the bin interlock switch or its wiring may be faulty and require professional repair.
