What should I do if the unblocker gets stuck?

Gently try to retract the spring, rotating it as you pull. If it remains stuck, seek professional help.

Troubleshooting

The unblocker spring is difficult to maneuver through the pipe.

Try rotating the handle while pushing the spring forward. This can help navigate bends. If resistance is met, slowly retract and re-insert the spring, adjusting the angle.

The claw is not grabbing the blockage.

Ensure the claw is open before inserting and that you have reached the blockage. Rotate the spring slightly to engage the claw and try again.

The spring becomes stuck in the pipe.

Gently and slowly try to pull the spring out, rotating it as you do so. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the pipes. If it remains stuck, consider professional assistance.
