7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Dispenser does not activate. | Low or dead batteries; incorrect battery installation; sensor obstruction. | Replace batteries; check battery polarity; clean sensor area. |
| No soap dispensed. | Empty reservoir; soap too thick; dispensing nozzle clogged. | Refill with liquid soap; dilute thick soap with a small amount of water; clean the dispensing nozzle. |
| Soap dispenses inconsistently. | Low batteries; sensor interference; soap consistency issue. | Replace batteries; ensure no strong light or reflective surfaces interfere with the sensor; adjust soap consistency. |
| Dispenser falls off the wall (glue installation). | Insufficient curing time for glue; improper wall surface preparation. | Ensure wall is clean, dry, and flat. Allow at least 48 hours for glue to cure before hanging. Consider screw installation for added security. |
