So the new dust bin/canister of my V11 SV17 is quite hard to open and it even seems that the red pull tab touches the runner bin (The runner even got a few scratches from that already!)
I further noticed that there seem to be two different variants of the V11/V15 dust bin: One with a red spring assembly (965443-01) and one with a grey one (970050-01). Is the grey one not compatible with the SV17? I actually wanted to get the red one as a replacement but it wasn't available (for a humane price) ... Does anyone know what's going on here?
I also have a V15 that doesn't seem to have this issue which has the one with the red assembly.
Maybe someone could check their vacuum to compare?

Remove the bin completely.
Apply furniture polish to all moving parts and down the bin runner
Open and close a few times
Would be easier to open. If not repeat the above. 8ts difficult due to dust build up and needs a bit more lubrication
I can't get the bin to open properly for emptying anymore. When I push the red lever, the entire canister comes off. I tried purchasing a new canister, but it made no difference. In this gif, it shows the canister coming off pretty easily, but it typically takes quite a bit of force to get it off. Under no circumstances does it open properly for me to empty the canister. Any ideas?
