Why does my foot bath start making a louder noise than before?

A foot bath can make some noise during heating, vibration or bubbling, but a sudden change in sound needs attention. A louder, harsher or rattling noise can point to poor placement, residue build-up or a developing fault.

Check for simple causes first

1. Switch the appliance off and unplug it.
2. Place it on a flat, stable floor.
3. Check whether the noise changes when you refill it with the recommended amount of water.

If the sound becomes quieter after these checks, the issue may have been caused by an uneven surface or low water level.

Inspect for residue

1. Empty the bath and rinse it clean.
2. Look for limescale, debris or soap residue around the base.
3. Dry it fully before using it again.

If the noise remains loud or becomes mechanical, stop using the appliance.

When to stop using it

Stop using the foot bath if the noise is linked to overheating, leaking, a burning smell or erratic operation. If the problem remains unresolved, contact the retailer or store where the product was purchased.

Helpful prevention

• Keep the bath level during use.
• Clean it regularly with mild detergent and clean water.
• Do not allow the control area to get wet.
