4. Troubleshooting
Refer to the table below for common issues and their potential solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power switch off; power outage. | Ensure the unit is securely plugged into a functional electrical outlet. Verify that the power switch for the desired compartment is in the "ON" position. Check for any local power outages or tripped circuit breakers. |
| Towels are not warm enough. | Doors not sealed properly; unit overloaded; insufficient heating time. | Ensure both doors are fully closed and sealed to prevent heat loss.
