- Don't force the part — if it resists, check alignment before applying pressure.
- Always disconnect power (or remove the battery) before any internal work.
The Bissell BigGreen 86T3 dustbin / canister should be replaced As needed under normal use — sooner with pets or daily heavy use. Signs it's due: Cracked, broken latch.
