Troubleshooting
13. Why doesn't the scaling tip on my Woodpecker / DTE D6 Ultrasonic Scaler vibrate, and there’s no water flowing when I step on the foot switch?
This issue may occur if the power plug or foot switch is in loose contact. Ensure that both the power plug and the foot switch are securely connected. If the issue persists, contact your dealer or our support team.

14. My Woodpecker / DTE D6 Ultrasonic Scaler’s scaling tip doesn’t vibrate, but water flows out when I step on the foot switch. What should I do?
The scaling tip may be in loose contact, or there could be an issue with the handpiece or cable. First, make sure the tip is screwed on tightly to the handpiece. If the problem continues, contact your dealer or our support team.

15. What should I do if the scaling tip on my Woodpecker / DTE D6 Ultrasonic Scaler vibrates but there is no spray when I step on the foot switch?
Check if the water control knob is turned on. If it is, the issue could be due to a loose or damaged tip. Screw the tip on tightly, and if the issue persists, consider replacing the tip.

16. Why is there water seeping from the coupling between the handpiece and the cable on my Woodpecker / DTE D6 Ultrasonic Scaler?
This may indicate that the waterproof "O" ring is damaged. You should replace the "O" ring to prevent further leakage.

17. What could cause my Woodpecker / DTE D6 Ultrasonic Scaler’s handpiece to generate heat during use?
Heat generation in the handpiece can be caused by the potentiometer being broken or the water control knob set to a low grade. Check these settings, and if necessary, replace the potentiometer or adjust the water control knob.

18. How can I fix the issue of little to no water coming out from the handpiece of my Woodpecker / DTE D6 Ultrasonic Scaler in automatic water supply mode?
This issue might be due to impurities in the solenoid valve, low water pressure, or a jammed water pipe. Try turning the water control knob to a higher grade, enhancing the water pressure, or cleaning the water pipe with a multi-function syringe.

19. What should I do if the LED light on my Woodpecker / DTE D6 Ultrasonic Scaler handpiece doesn’t work?
The issue could be due to poor contact or a problem with the LED light itself. Ensure all connections are secure. If the LED still doesn’t work, it may need to be replaced.

20. There is noise coming from the endochuck of my Woodpecker / DTE D6 Ultrasonic Scaler. How can I resolve this?
This could be caused by a loose screw or a damaged endochuck. Tighten the screw and, if the noise persists, the endochuck may need to be replaced.

21. Why does my Woodpecker / DTE D6 Ultrasonic Scaler’s vibrating intensity control knob seem to be seized up?
The potentiometer might be broken, or there could be an issue with the control knob. If adjusting the knob doesn’t solve the problem, consider replacing the potentiometer.
