Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your ChooChoo Over The Toilet Storage Cabinet, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet feels wobbly or unstable. | Loose fasteners; uneven floor; not secured to wall. | Ensure all screws are tightened. Place shims under the feet if the floor is uneven. Always use the anti-tip kit to secure the cabinet to the wall. |
| Doors do not align or close properly. | Hinges are not adjusted correctly; cabinet is not level. | Adjust the screws on the hinges to align the doors. Ensure the cabinet is level on the floor. |
| Sliding drawer is stiff or difficult to move. | Drawer slides are not properly aligned or lubricated; debris in the track. | Check that the drawer slides are correctly installed and aligned. Clean any debris from the tracks. A small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to the slides if needed. |
| Cabinet does not fit around toilet plumbing. | Lower brace bar interferes with plumbing. | In some cases, the lower brace bar may need to be installed in a reversed orientation or omitted if it interferes with existing plumbing. Ensure stability is maintained, and consider additional wall anchoring if a brace is removed. |
