Bionaire BAP-600 Troubleshooting

You are pressing the nightlight power button, but the light is not turning on.

Check to make sure the device is plugged in to the power outlet, and that the rest of the device features are operating. If the rest of the device is not receiving power, see the heading Unit not Turning on.

If the device is receiving power but the LED is not powering on, then the wire connecting the two may be cut, nicked, or otherwise breaking the circuit. To check for this issue, first unplug the device, then the unit will need to be opened following this guide. Check the connection points of the wire to the LED's and to the button circuit board to make sure they are secure. After this, run your fingers along the length of the wire to check for any discontinuities. If the wire is not continuous, then it will need to be replaced using this guide. If the light does not turn on after the connection points are secured, and the wire is continuous, then there is another problem.

If the previous steps have been exhausted and the light is still not turning on, then it is likely that one or more of the LED's have malfunctioned and need to be replaced using this guide.
