Troubleshooting

Extension lead not powering connected device

Ensure the main plug is securely inserted into a working mains socket. Check that the device itself is functioning correctly. Inspect the extension lead for any visible damage to the cable or plug.

Cable winding mechanism is stiff

Ensure there are no obstructions caught in the winding mechanism. Gently try to rotate the knob back and forth to loosen it. If the issue persists, check for debris around the spool.

Cable unwinds unexpectedly

Ensure the locking mechanism, if present on the winding knob, is engaged. Check that the cable is not being pulled with excessive force.
