7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your QIAYA Nut Milk Maker, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Appliance does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet issue; lid not properly secured. | Ensure power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check that the lid is correctly and firmly seated on the pitcher. |
| Machine stops mid-cycle. | Overheating; insufficient water; ingredients too dense. | Unplug and let cool for 15-20 minutes. Ensure water level is between MIN and MAX lines. Reduce ingredient quantity or add more liquid. |
| Loud noise during operation. | Hard ingredients; machine not stable; foreign object. | Ensure ingredients are appropriate for blending. Place machine on a stable, flat surface. Check for any foreign objects inside the pitcher before operation. |
| Milk/Juice is not smooth enough. | Insufficient blending time; too many solids; ingredients not soaked (for some recipes). | Run the cycle again or use the 'Blend' function if available. Reduce the amount of solids. For certain nuts/beans, pre-soaking may improve texture. Use the fine mesh filter or nut milk bag for smoother results. |
| Self-cleaning not effective. | Residue dried; insufficient water. | Run self-cleaning immediately after use. Add water up to MAX line. For stubborn residue, use the cleaning brush manually. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact QIAYA customer support.
