Automatic soap dispensers are a convenient way to keep your hands clean, but they can sometimes malfunction. Here are some troubleshooting tips to help you get your dispenser working again:

Check the batteries: The most common reason for an automatic soap dispenser not working is dead batteries. Check the battery compartment and make sure the batteries are inserted correctly. If the batteries are old or corroded, replace them.
Clean the sensor: The sensor on an automatic soap dispenser can become dirty or obstructed, which can prevent it from working properly. Clean the sensor with a soft cloth or a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol.
Prime the dispenser: If the dispenser is not dispensing soap, it may need to be primed. To do this, remove the soap cartridge and hold it upside down. Squeeze the cartridge several times to force the soap down the dispensing tube. Then, replace the cartridge and try dispensing soap again.
Check the soap reservoir: If the dispenser is not dispensing soap, the soap reservoir may be empty. Check the reservoir and refill it with soap.
Inspect the dispensing tube: The dispensing tube can become clogged with soap or debris, which can prevent soap from dispensing. Inspect the tube and remove any clogs.
Replace the soap cartridge: If the soap cartridge is old or damaged, it may not be dispensing soap properly. Replace the soap cartridge with a new one.
If you have tried all of these troubleshooting tips and your automatic soap dispenser is still not working, you may need to contact the manufacturer for assistance.

Here are some additional tips for troubleshooting an automatic soap dispenser:

Check the user manual: The user manual may contain specific troubleshooting instructions for your particular dispenser.
Try a different soap: Some soaps are thicker than others and may be more difficult to dispense. Try using a different soap to see if that resolves the problem.
Locate the dispenser in a well-lit area: The sensor on an automatic soap dispenser may not work properly in low-light conditions.
Avoid placing the dispenser near heat sources: Heat can cause the soap to thicken and clog the dispensing tube.
I hope these troubleshooting tips help you get your automatic soap dispenser working again.
