6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your SANODESK EL13, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Desk does not move. | No power, loose cable connection, overload. | Check power cable connection to outlet and control box. Ensure all motor cables are securely connected. Reduce weight on the desk. |
| Desk moves unevenly or makes unusual noise. | Obstruction, uneven weight distribution, loose fasteners. | Check for obstructions under or around the desk. Redistribute weight evenly. Check and tighten all assembly fasteners. |
