7. Troubleshooting

If your Sloan SF Series electronic faucet is not functioning correctly, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Water Flow: Check the power supply to the control module. Ensure batteries (if applicable) are fresh and correctly installed, or that the wired power connection is secure. Verify water supply valves are open.
• Continuous Water Flow: This may indicate a sensor malfunction or an obstruction. Clean the faucet sensor window. If the issue persists, the control module or solenoid valve may require inspection or replacement.
• Intermittent Operation: Check all electrical connections for looseness. Ensure the sensor window is clean and free from obstructions. Recalibrate the sensor range if necessary.
• Leaks: Inspect all water connections for proper sealing. Tighten any loose connections. If a component is cracked or damaged, it must be replaced with a genuine Sloan part.

For persistent issues or complex repairs, it is recommended to contact Sloan Technical Support or a qualified plumbing professional.
