Troubleshooting
Socket is not powering on.
Check that the power supply to the circuit is on. Verify all wiring connections are secure and correct. Ensure the neon indicator is functioning (if applicable).
Electric razor is not charging or operating.
Confirm the razor is compatible with dual voltage shavers and within the specified power limits. Ensure the razor plug is fully inserted into the socket. Check if the neon indicator is lit, indicating the socket has power.
Neon indicator light is not on.
This could indicate a power supply issue to the socket or a faulty neon bulb. Check the main power and wiring. If the issue persists, the unit may require replacement.
