Fix the flashing LCD

This issue also causes the mamaroo to stop moving. If something like a penny, a puzzle piece, or anything blocks the movement of the swing, the screen may start flashing. Just clear the obstructions and play the swing.

If you notice a sparking sound

The spark you notice at the time you plug in the mamaroo’s cord into the electrical socket or when you connect the power cord into the mamaroo is normal. It happens due to the capacitors inside the swing. This is not something to worry about. However, if you notice the continuous spark after some time, it is not normal. In this case, the mamaroo may stop moving, and it can also get damaged, so you should plug the swing into another socket and call the electrician to examine the faulty socket.

Mamaroo is powered on but not moving

If your swing is powered on but still not moving. It doesn’t have an obstruction error, or you don’t even notice the spark. It is still not moving, but why? Well, it can happen if you are not using the original power cord that came with the mamaroo. Using a random power cord may power on the swing but may not help the mamaroo perform its operations. That’s why always use the original cord. If the cable is lost or damaged, contact mamaroo to get the original cable.
