Troubleshooting

Socket not providing power

Check the circuit breaker for the relevant circuit. Ensure the wiring connections to the socket are secure and correct. Verify that the main power supply is active.

Hinged cover is stiff or difficult to open/close

Gently test the movement. Ensure no debris is obstructing the hinge mechanism. Clean the hinge area if necessary. Avoid excessive force.

Poor connection when plugging in devices

Check if the plug is fully inserted. Inspect the socket's contacts for any visible damage or foreign objects. Ensure the device's plug is not damaged.

Socket feels warm during use

This may be normal under heavy load. However, if it becomes excessively hot, immediately disconnect power and check the load against the socket's 16A rating. Ensure connections are tight. Consult a qualified electrician if concerns persist.
