Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your MALFT Automatic Cat Litter Box, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit not functioning/stopping with flashing codes | Obstruction, improper assembly, sensor issue, litter level incorrect. | Check for any foreign objects or litter clumps obstructing the rotation. Ensure the inner drum is correctly seated. Verify litter level is between MIN/MAX lines. If issues persist, power cycle the unit. |
| Cat not using the litter box / struggling to adjust | New environment, enclosed space unfamiliarity, cat preference. | Place the new litter box next to the old one initially. Gradually reduce the amount of litter in the old box. You can try placing a small amount of your cat's waste in the new box to encourage use. Ensure the litter type is familiar to your cat. |
| Odor present after cleaning cycle | Waste bin full, improper sealing, litter type, need for deodorizer. | Empty the waste bin regularly. Ensure the waste bag is properly sealed and the waste drawer is fully closed. Consider using the aromatherapy box or a different litter type known for better odor control. |
| APP connection issues | Incorrect Wi-Fi band, weak signal, incorrect password. | Ensure your phone is connected to a 2.4G Wi-Fi network. Check Wi-Fi signal strength near the litter box. Double-check the Wi-Fi password. Restart your router and the litter box. |
