7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet is wobbly. | Screws are loose or placed on an uneven surface. | Ensure all assembly screws are tightened. Move the cabinet to a level surface. |
| Doors do not close properly. | Hinges are misaligned or magnetic catches are not installed correctly. | Adjust hinges or re-install magnetic catches to ensure proper alignment. |
| Odor persists despite litter box cleaning. | Insufficient ventilation or strong litter box odor. | Ensure ventilation holes are not blocked. Consider using a higher quality litter or odor-absorbing products. |
