Troubleshooting

  • Low Suction: Ensure all pump components (flange, valve, linker, diaphragm, milk collector) are correctly and tightly assembled. A loose connection can significantly reduce suction. Check for any damage to silicone parts.
  • Leakage: Verify that the diaphragm is tightly connected to the milk collector and that the flange is securely attached. Improper assembly is a common cause of leakage.
  • Pump Not Turning On/Charging: Ensure the USB charging cable is properly connected and the power source is active. If the battery is completely drained, it may take a few minutes for the display to light up.
  • Reduced Milk Output: Check flange size for proper fit. Ensure you are using the correct mode and suction level for your body. Stress and hydration can also affect milk output.

Important Note on Assembly

Incorrect assembly is a primary cause of issues like low suction or leakage. Always refer to the assembly instructions and ensure all parts are securely fitted.
