In This Guide
Check The Simple Causes
Confirm the outlet works, the cord is fully connected, the control is in the correct position and any required valve is open for inflation.
Do Not Open Sealed Electrical Parts
Integrated pumps combine electrical and air-control components. Do not disassemble a unit that the manufacturer does not designate as user-serviceable.
Use Support When Appropriate
If a built-in pump fails within warranty, contact the manufacturer with the order information and a clear description of the problem.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Use An External Pump If The Built-In Pump Fails?
Only if the mattress design and manufacturer instructions permit it. Do not force air through a system not intended for an external pump.
Does A Pump Problem Mean The Bed Leaks?
No. Inflation hardware and air retention are separate issues, although a damaged valve/pump assembly can sometimes affect both.
