Troubleshooting
While Levolor InMotion motorized blinds are designed for reliability, occasional issues may arise. This section provides troubleshooting tips to address common problems and ensure smooth operation of your blinds. If you experience any difficulties, it’s recommended to first review the troubleshooting steps outlined below before contacting Levolor customer support.
One common issue is a lack of response from the blinds when pressing the remote control buttons. This could be due to a weak battery in the remote, a faulty connection between the remote and the blinds, or a problem with the motor itself. To resolve this, first check the battery level in the remote and replace it if necessary. Next, ensure that the remote is properly paired with the blinds and that the channel selection on the remote matches the channel assigned to your blinds. If these steps don’t resolve the issue, you may need to reset the remote or contact Levolor customer support for further assistance.
Another common issue is the blinds becoming stuck or jammed during operation.
