7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your loktch self-cleaning litter box, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Device Not Connecting to App:
  - Ensure your home Wi-Fi network is 2.4G. The device does not support 5G Wi-Fi.
  - Check Wi-Fi signal strength in the device's location.
  - Restart the litter box and your router.
• Inaccurate Weight Monitoring/Cleaning Issues:
  - Verify the litter box is placed on a hard, flat surface. Carpets or uneven surfaces can interfere with gravity sensor readings.
  - Ensure the cat's weight is within the supported range (up to 17.6 lbs / 8 kg).
• Litter Leakage/Ineffective Cleaning:
  - Check if the correct type of cat litter is being used (refer to Section 5.1).
  - Ensure the litter level is appropriate, not overfilled or underfilled.
• Excessive Noise During Operation:
  - The device is designed for quiet operation (noise level ≤35DB). If it's unusually loud, check for any obstructions in the rotating mechanism or contact support.
• Cat Refuses to Use the Litter Box:
  - Allow your cat time to adjust to the new litter box. You can try placing some of their old litter inside initially.
  - Ensure the entry height is comfortable for your cat. The low-entry design is friendly for short-legged and elderly cats.
