Troubleshooting
Hose won't fit the appliance.
Verify that your appliance has a 125mm (5") standard exhaust port. Ensure no adapter is preventing a direct connection.
Reduced airflow or weak cooling.
Check for kinks or sharp bends in the hose. Ensure the hose is fully extended to its operational length and not obstructed. Clean any dust or debris from the connection points.
Hose feels flimsy or isn't holding shape.
Ensure the internal steel wire coil is properly seated. Avoid storing the hose tightly coiled or bent for extended periods. If significantly damaged, replacement may be necessary.
Excessive noise from the connection.
Ensure the hose is securely attached to both the appliance and the vent opening. Check for any gaps or loose fittings that could be causing air to escape and create noise.
