8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your waste separation system, refer to the following common solutions:
- System not sliding smoothly: Check the pull-out slides for any obstructions (e.g., debris, loose items). Ensure the slides are clean and free from dirt. Verify that the mounting screws are securely tightened and the frame is not warped.
- Bins not fitting correctly: Ensure the bins are inserted into the frame in the correct orientation. Check for any foreign objects at the bottom of the frame preventing proper seating.
- Lid not closing properly: Inspect the lid mechanism for any damage or misalignment. Ensure the bins are fully seated within the frame, allowing the lid to rest correctly.
