5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your garment rack, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Rack is unstable or wobbly. | Loose connections; uneven weight distribution. | Ensure all screws and fittings are tightened. Redistribute clothing evenly across both rails. |
| Casters do not roll smoothly. | Debris caught in casters; casters not properly installed. | Clean any lint or hair from the caster wheels. Verify casters are securely attached and facing the correct direction. |
| Horizontal rods are difficult to extend/retract. | Dust or friction in the telescoping mechanism. | Clean the inner and outer surfaces of the telescoping rods. A small amount of silicone spray (avoiding contact with clothing) can help. |
