Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Insignia™ 3 Gal. Automatic Trash Can should operate quietly when the lid opens and closes. A loud whiny noise is not typical and may indicate a defect in the lid mechanism or the motor. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue: 1. Check the Batteries: Ensure the batteries are fresh and properly installed. Weak batteries can sometimes cause the motor to struggle and make unusual noises. 2. Clean the Sensor and Lid Mechanism: Dust or debris around the sensor or lid mechanism can cause operational issues. Gently clean these areas with a soft cloth. 3. Reset the Trash Can: Turn off the trash can, remove the batteries, wait for a few minutes, and then reinstall the batteries and turn it back on. If the noise persists after trying these steps, it is likely that the lid mechanism is defective. In this case, I recommend contacting Insignia customer support or Best Buy for a replacement or further assistance. If you need help with any of these steps or have more questions, feel free to ask!
