How to Reset a Simplehuman Trash Can

Occasionally, your Simplehuman Trash Can may become inoperable. You can easily reset it by heating it with a hair dryer. This method works on both sides of the lid. The lid of the Simplehuman Trash Can should snap into place again once it is heated. Simplehuman trash cans are built to last for years – they are rated to withstand 150,000 steps. The lids are tested rigorously and come with a warranty. If the lid is still inoperative after the warranty period, you can use a hair dryer again.

If your trash can’s lid stays open after being opened for more than a few hours, it may be due to a malfunction in the sensor. Make sure the sensor is clear and that there are no obstructions between it and the trash can. If the sensor is not working properly, it may need a new motor. You can also try raising the trim ring to reset it. If this doesn’t fix the problem, you can replace the battery.

Another way to reset Simplehuman trash can is by using a voice command. The voice control feature works with the sensor on the back. It works very quietly, so you can’t hear it if you’re in a quiet room. Another convenient feature is the integrated liner pocket at the back of the can. The Simplehuman company makes its own liners and makes them available in a special pouch at the back.

Resetting the Simplehuman trash can is easy, and requires no technical expertise. It is a smart device that can alert the sanitation department if it overflows. Unlike other trash cans, Simplehuman trash cans don’t require any Internet connection and are powered by batteries. However, they do tend to tear the trash bags.
