Troubleshooting
Towel rail is not heating up
Ensure the unit is correctly hard-wired and the circuit breaker is switched on. Verify the heating element is properly connected and functioning. If an external thermostat is installed, check its settings and power supply.
Inconsistent heating
Check for any obstructions on the rails that might be preventing heat distribution. If using an external thermostat, ensure it is set correctly. An electrician may need to check the element's performance.
