Why is the massage function on my foot bath not working?

If the water heats but the massage does not start, the cause is often a setting choice, an interrupted power supply, or the unit not being filled to the level needed for that function. Some foot baths also separate heating and massage features, so one may work while the other does not. If you see damage, leaking or exposed parts, stop using the appliance straight away.

First-line checks

1. Confirm that the massage setting has been selected, not a heat-only or keep-warm setting.
2. Check that the water level is within the range stated in the instructions, because some functions work only when the bath is filled correctly.
3. Switch the unit off, unplug it, then plug it back in after a short pause and try again.
4. Listen for a gentle motor or vibration sound. If there is no sound at all, the function may not be receiving power.

What the result means

If the massage starts after reselecting the setting or refilling to the correct level, the issue was likely temporary or caused by use outside the intended range. If the massage remains silent or weak, there may be a fault in the motor or control system.

When to stop

Stop using the product if the motor sounds strained, the base vibrates abnormally, the cable feels warm, or any moisture has entered the controls. For unresolved problems, contact the retailer or store where the product was purchased.
