Troubleshooting

Socket not providing power

Verify that the circuit breaker is switched on. Check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and correct. If problems persist, consult a qualified electrician.

Switches feel stiff or loose

Ensure the socket is securely mounted to the wall box. If stiffness or looseness persists after mounting, there may be an internal mechanism issue requiring professional assessment.

Sparking when plugging in devices

Immediately stop using the socket. This indicates a potential wiring fault or internal short circuit. Turn off the power at the breaker and have the unit inspected by a qualified electrician.
