6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Food not dispensing or clogging | Kibble size too large or small; food jammed in dispenser; low food level. | Ensure kibble size is between 3-20mm. Check for any blockages in the dispensing mechanism. Refill food tank if low. If using kibble near the 15-20mm range, monitor closely as some larger kibble may still cause jams. |
| Lid opens easily or pet accesses food | Lid not properly secured; lid lock not engaged. | Ensure the lid is firmly snapped into place on both sides and the lid lock mechanism is fully engaged. |
| Feeder not powering on | Power adapter disconnected; batteries depleted or incorrectly installed. | Check if the power adapter is securely connected to both the feeder and the wall outlet. If using batteries, ensure they are fresh and inserted with correct polarity. |
| Incorrect feeding times or portions | Programming error; incorrect current time setting. | Verify the current time setting. Re-enter programming mode and confirm all meal times and portion sizes are set correctly. |
