Why does my foot bath not respond after cleaning?

Modified on Tue, 25 Aug at 11:47 AM

If a foot bath works before cleaning and then stops responding afterwards, moisture may still be present or a control may not have been refitted correctly. Do not keep trying to switch it on if it was recently washed and may still be damp.

Safe checks after cleaning

  1. Unplug the appliance and allow every accessible part to dry fully before trying again.
  2. Check that no water has collected around the selector, base or cord entry point.
  3. Confirm that any removable parts have been replaced in the correct position.
  4. Try a different socket only after the appliance is completely dry and visibly undamaged.

What the result means

  1. If the unit starts working after thorough drying, moisture was likely the cause.
  2. If it still does not respond, the cleaning process may have exposed an underlying fault or damaged control.
  3. If it trips the power, smells hot or becomes noisy after cleaning, stop using it immediately.

When to stop using it

Stop using the foot bath if cleaning has led to erratic operation, visible corrosion or any suspicion that water reached the electrical section. If the issue remains unresolved or safe use is uncertain, contact the retailer or store where it was purchased.
