Understanding Dr. Dabber Switch² LED Error Codes
The Switch² communicates status and faults through distinct LED colors and patterns. Recognizing these signals helps you diagnose issues quickly and avoid unnecessary downtime.
- Red: Power/battery fault or thermal protection triggered.
- Blue: Temperature or sensor inconsistency—often cup alignment or residue.
- Green: Induction cup not detected; alignment or contact issue.
- Purple: Firmware/software hiccup; rare but often resolved with a reset.
- White: Heating failure: incompatible or damaged cup, or poor contact.
- Yellow/Amber: Low battery or poor charging current detected.
Step-by-Step Fixes for Each LED
1) Red Light (Low Battery / Overheating)
- Power off immediately if the unit feels hot; allow 15–20 minutes to cool.
- Charge to 100% using a reliable USB-C wall adapter (avoid weak ports).
- If charging is inconsistent, test a second cable/adapter and inspect the port for debris.
2) Blue Light (Sensor / Induction Error)
- Remove the induction cup and clean both the cup base and chamber contacts with a dry cotton swab.
- Re-seat the cup so it sits flat and centered. Avoid overtight accessories.
- Soft-reset: hold power for 10 seconds, release, and turn back on.
3) Green Light (Cup Not Detected)
- Confirm you’re using a compatible cup for the Switch².
- Inspect the cup and chamber for residue; clean and fully reseat.
- Try another compatible induction cup if available to isolate the issue.
4) Purple Light (Software/Firmware)
- Hard reset: power off, then hold the power button for 15 seconds.
- Power on and test. If it persists, contact Dr. Dabber Support.
5) White Light (No Heat / Incompatible Cup)
- Verify the cup type is designed for Switch². Replace if chipped or warped.
- Clean, reseat, and ensure firm, even contact.
6) Yellow/Amber (Low Battery / Charging Fault)
- Charge uninterrupted to full. Avoid using the device while charging.
- Swap to a known-good cable/brick; clean the charging port carefully.
How to Prevent Future LED Errors
- Keep induction cups and contact points clean and dry.
- Allow brief cool-down windows between back-to-back sessions.
- Use compatible, quality accessories designed for the Switch².
- Charge with a reliable USB-C wall adapter (not a weak laptop port).
