Troubleshooting

No power at the socket

Check that the power source is switched on and providing power. Ensure the adapter is securely plugged into the power source and the appliance is properly connected to the adapter. Verify the circuit breaker on the power source has not tripped.

Adapter feels loose

Ensure the plug is fully inserted into the power source socket. If the socket itself is worn, this may affect connection stability.

Water ingress detected

Immediately disconnect from power and inspect the adapter. If significant water is present, do not use. Dry thoroughly in a warm place and inspect for damage before next use. For persistent issues, replace the adapter.
