| Lid does not open or close automatically. | Batteries are dead or incorrectly installed. Power switch is OFF. Sensor is obstructed or dirty. | Check battery polarity and replace batteries if needed. Ensure power switch is ON. Clean the sensor area with a dry, soft cloth. |
| Lid opens unintentionally. | Sensor is too sensitive or there is constant movement near the sensor. | Ensure the trash can is placed in an area with minimal foot traffic or objects passing close to the sensor. |
| Lid does not close completely. | Obstruction in the lid's path. Mechanism cycle interrupted. | Remove any obstructions. If the lid stops mid-cycle, trigger the open function again to allow it to reset and close fully. |
