Troubleshooting tips for your homecare bed
Homecare beds are valuable tools to keep loved ones at home during periods of recovery or illness. Should problems ever arise, there are troubleshooting options that caregivers can easily administer. This blog will describe some simple steps that you can take before calling a service technician to schedule a repair for your homecare bed.
Q: Why is my homecare bed making noises?
A: Motors within hospital beds normally make whirring sounds as they adjust the position of the bed. These sounds may become a little louder over time depending on the time the motors are used. Caregivers should check the instruction manual for the bed to see if lubricating oil should be applied to the motors. Loud squealing or grinding noises indicate that service is needed.
Q: What should I do if my homecare bed doesn’t work?
A: Firstly, move the bed away from the wall and remove any objects that may be blocking the movement of the bed. A loose plug is a common reason why bed motors stop working, so make sure that the plug fits securely into the outlet. You may want to plug the bed into a different outlet and check the fuse box or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Check the hand controller and cord for damage and ensure it is securely connected to the motor. Usually, the homecare bed hand controller can be replaced without the need to call a technician.
