![]() ![]() ![]() I warmed up the lugs with a hairdryer, no need to go mad of have hairdryer on hottest setting, just get some warmth into the plastic, I usually do this if I can when snapping plastic hinges etc back together as the heat will give you a fraction more flex. Get familiar with the little lugs on the door, as noted above mine were chamfered which must be an assembly aid, also appeared to be same length, if one is longer that's one to locate first. Not sure if it's possible to fit upside down, you don't want to be the one to find out though. Make sure you familiarise yourself with the orientation of the door, make sure you don't overlook having it the right way up, seal needs to be facing to inside of canister. Initially door was hanging on by the wrong side (the side with the red catches), once I realised that the usual steps to open the canister up made the door drop off as nothing holding it on any longer. Just popped little door back on our rechargeable Dyson, found combination of squeezing the canister and a little force (not brute) did trick for me, along with a bit of heat from a hairdryer and liquid soap to lubricate, my steps/experience below. Stay with it, you can do it! Nice work Robert zeroing in on this fix. Get one of the pins in (mine seem to be the same length) and oriented so the chamfer (sloped) side of the other pin will be going straight in to the other socket as you squeeze the canister to open up that hinge area just a skootch. On one side that is also where the word MAX is written - squeeze the canister between the MAX side and the other side. This is the diameter 90 degrees to the axis between the hinge and the latch. Now Robert says squeeze along the top diameter. If you look closely at the pins on the lid they are chamfered in one direction and that’s the direction you want to be pushing them to get them seated back in the hinge sockets. First the two pins are clear plastic and go into the side with the clear sockets, not the side with the red moving parts. ![]() ![]() RobertGuyPowell’s solution is exactly correct and worked but I will explain a little further. ![]()
