Troubleshooting

No power to the socket

Verify that the connected appliance is switched on and functioning. Check the main power supply to the circuit. Ensure the plug is securely inserted into the socket and that the screw terminals inside the socket are tight and properly connected.

Spring cover does not close properly

Inspect the cover and its spring mechanism for any obstructions, debris, or damage. Gently clear any obstructions. If the spring is damaged, replacement may be necessary.
