6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Hometech WB-30, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bottle not heating | Charging unit not properly connected; Power outlet issue; Internal fault. | Ensure charging unit is securely connected and plugged into a working outlet. Check if the indicator light illuminates. If not, try a different outlet. If the problem persists, the unit may be faulty. |
| Indicator light not turning off | Overcharging; Faulty charging unit or bottle. | Disconnect after 10-15 minutes even if the light is still on to prevent overcharging. If this happens consistently, the unit may be faulty. |
| Bottle not retaining heat for long | Incomplete charge; Normal wear and tear; Environmental factors. | Ensure the bottle is fully charged until the indicator light turns off. Heat retention can decrease over time with regular use. Cold ambient temperatures may also reduce heat retention. |
