Troubleshooting Your Ekrin Kestrel Massage GunUpdated 12 days ago

Quick Fixes for Common Issues

Your Ekrin Kestrel Massage Gun is built for long-lasting reliability—but if something feels off, most issues can be resolved quickly. Use this guide to troubleshoot the most common problems and get back to recovery without delay.


🔋 Problem: My Kestrel Won’t Turn On

Try This:
✅ Connect the device to a charger for at least 5–10 minutes—if the battery is completely drained, it may need time to respond.
✅ Use a known-good USB-C PD charger and cable.
✅ Check for a charging light—no indicator may suggest an issue with the cable, adapter, or port.

💡 Tip: For the best results, always use a USB-C Power Delivery (PD) charger (18W+ recommended).


Problem: The Device Won’t Charge

Try This:
✅ Swap in a different USB-C PD cable or adapter.
✅ Inspect and gently clean the charging port using a dry cotton swab or compressed air.
✅ Try a different outlet or USB-C charging port (such as a laptop or power strip).

⚠️ Still not charging after trying multiple chargers? Contact support for a warranty evaluation.


🎛️ Problem: I Can’t Change the Speed

Try This:
✅ Ensure the device is powered on and running.
✅ Use the scroll wheel gently—no button-pressing required.
✅ If the wheel feels stuck, power off the device and gently test its movement.

🛠 If the scroll wheel remains unresponsive, reach out to our support team.


🧩 Problem: Attachment Feels Loose or Won’t Lock

Try This:
✅ Remove the attachment and inspect both the port and attachment base for dust or wear.
✅ Reinsert the attachment straight in—push firmly and twist until it locks into place.
✅ Use only original Ekrin Kestrel attachments for best fit and function.

⚠️ Never force an attachment—this could damage the locking system.


🔇 Problem: Device Is On but Not Vibrating

Try This:
✅ Turn the device off, wait a few seconds, then restart.
✅ Ensure the attachment is installed correctly and locked in.
✅ Slowly adjust the scroll wheel through the full speed range.

⚠️ If the motor is silent and there’s no movement, it may be an internal issue—contact support to initiate a warranty claim.
