6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Moen bidet seat. For more complex problems, please refer to the full installation guide or contact Moen customer support.
| Problem | Possible Cause / Solution |
|---|---|
| Low Water Pressure | Ensure the water supply valve is fully open. Check for kinks in the water inlet hose. Verify that your household water pressure is adequate. Some users have noted that the water pressure may not be as strong as other bidet models. |
| Seat Not Secure / Loose | Ensure mounting inserts and bolts are properly tightened. Some users have reported difficulty in securing the mounting. Re-check the installation steps for proper alignment and tightening. |
| Lid/Seat Does Not Stay Up | Verify the bidet seat is correctly positioned on the toilet bowl. If the seat is too long for your toilet, it may interfere with the tank or not stay upright. Ensure it is compatible with your toilet's shape (elongated vs. round). |
| Unusual Odor | Ensure regular cleaning of the bidet seat and toilet. Some users have reported an odor, which might be related to plastic materials or lack of proper ventilation. |
| Improper Fit on Toilet | Confirm your toilet is an elongated shape, as this model is designed for elongated seats. While retrofittable, some toilet designs may not be fully compatible. Refer to product dimensions (19.5"L x 14.75"W) and compare with your toilet. |
