7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Doradotey playpen, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Playpen feels unstable or wobbly. | Panels not fully connected; suction cups not engaged; uneven surface. | Ensure all panel connections are securely clicked into place. Press down firmly on each panel to activate suction cups on smooth floors. Move to a flat, even surface. |
| Suction cups are not sticking. | Floor surface is not smooth, dirty, or wet; suction cups are damaged. | Clean and dry the floor surface thoroughly. Ensure the surface is smooth (suction cups are less effective on carpet). If damaged, contact customer service. |
| Difficulty folding the playpen. | Locking mechanism not disengaged; panels are still connected. | Ensure the simple switch is in the "OFF" position (disengaged). Disconnect one of the main panel connections to allow for full folding. Refer to assembly instructions for folding steps. |
| Zipper on gate is stuck or damaged. | Fabric caught in zipper; zipper mechanism damaged. | Gently try to free any fabric caught in the zipper. Do not force it. If damaged, contact customer service. |
