Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Feeder not dispensing food. | Food hopper empty; kibble stuck; power issue. | Refill food; check for blockages and clear; ensure power adapter is connected or batteries are installed correctly. |
| App cannot connect to feeder. | Incorrect WiFi network (not 2.4GHZ); feeder too far from router; pairing mode not activated. | Ensure connection to 2.4GHZ WiFi; move feeder closer to router; follow app instructions to re-enter pairing mode. |
| Food not evenly distributed. | Minor variations due to kibble shape/size. | This is generally not an issue as the system is designed for balanced feeding. If significant, check for internal blockages. |
