Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
Lights do not turn on	Power outlet issue; switch off; loose connection	Plug another device into the outlet to test. Ensure switch is ON. Check that the adapter is fully plugged into both the outlet and the string light connector.
Only some LEDs work	Loose bulb; wire damage	Gently press on any non-working LEDs to ensure they are seated. Inspect the wire near non-working bulbs for damage. If found, discontinue use.
Flickering lights	Loose connection; faulty adapter	Check all connections. Try a different power outlet. If flickering persists, the adapter or string may be faulty.
Adapter feels hot	Overheating; ventilation blocked	Unplug immediately. Ensure the adapter is in an open area with good airflow. Do not cover the adapter.
Damaged wire	Physical stress; animal damage	Stop using the product immediately. Do not attempt to repair. Contact IKEA for support or replacement.
