7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Satco S9030 LED A15 light bulb, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bulb does not light up | No power to the fixture; Bulb not screwed in properly; Faulty bulb or fixture | Check power switch and circuit breaker. Ensure bulb is securely screwed into the socket. Test the bulb in another working fixture or test the fixture with another working bulb. |
| Bulb flickers or hums | Incompatible dimmer switch; Loose connection; Electrical interference | Ensure your dimmer switch is specifically designed for LED bulbs. Tighten the bulb in the socket. If flickering persists, try the bulb in a non-dimmable fixture to rule out dimmer incompatibility. |
| Bulb does not dim properly | Incompatible dimmer switch; Dimmer not calibrated for LED | Verify that your dimmer switch is compatible with LED bulbs. Some LED dimmers require calibration; consult your dimmer's instruction manual. |
| Reduced light output | Dust accumulation; End of bulb life | Clean the bulb with a dry cloth (ensure power is off). If the bulb is nearing the end of its rated lifespan, replacement may be necessary. |
