7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your SoBuy KCR09-W dish rack, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
- Unit feels unstable after assembly:
Solution: Ensure all screws are fully tightened. Check that the wall mounting is secure and appropriate anchors were used for your wall type. If mounted incorrectly, remove, repair wall if needed, and re-mount. - Difficulty inserting wooden dowels during assembly:
Solution: Some dowels may have a tight fit. Apply gentle, even pressure. Do not force them excessively, as this can split the wood. If a dowel is too large, it may need light sanding or replacement. - Plates do not fit or are unstable in the drying section:
Solution: This section is designed for standard plates up to 35 cm in diameter. Deep bowls or unusually shaped plates may not fit securely. Ensure plates are placed vertically. - Hooks are too small for mug handles:
Solution: The hooks are standard size. If your mug handles are unusually thick or small, they may not hang perfectly. Consider using the hooks for lighter items like kitchen towels or smaller utensils. - Missing or damaged parts:
Solution: Do not proceed with assembly. Contact SoBuy customer support immediately for replacement parts.
