Troubleshooting

Towel rail not heating up

Ensure the rail is switched on at the power source. Check that the plug is securely inserted into the socket. Verify that the circuit breaker or fuse for the relevant circuit is not tripped. If issues persist, contact a qualified electrician.

Dim or inconsistent heating

This may indicate an issue with the heating element or power supply. Check for any visible damage to the cord or rail. If the problem continues, professional inspection is recommended.

Noise from the rail

A slight expansion/contraction noise due to temperature changes is normal. Loud or persistent noises may require a professional inspection.

Poor connection of fixings

Ensure all wall fixings are tightened appropriately for secure mounting. If mounting on a lighter partition, use suitable wall anchors designed for that material.
