How do I fix my BEKANT sit/stand desk?
If your BEKANT sit/stand desk is only moving in one direction, only one side is moving, or it’s not moving at all, performing a reset can resolve the issue.
Desk Not Moving
- Unplug the desk from the wall socket for approximately one minute, then reconnect it.
- If the desk is stuck at the highest or lowest position, proceed with the reset instructions below.
- Otherwise, ensure all cables are properly connected and follow the installation instructions.
Only One Column of the Desk Moving
- If only one column is moving, perform a reset.
- If the issue persists after resetting, replace the column that is moving.
Two Columns Moving at Different Speeds
- If the slower column can be manually moved (pulled up or pushed down), replace the slower column.
- If manual movement is not possible, replace the faster-moving column.
Desk Only Moving Short Distances
- If the desk is overloaded, remove excess weight.
- Ensure the key is correctly inserted into the handset.
- If the issue continues, consider replacing the power supply.
Desk Stops and Reverses During Operation
- Check for any obstructions blocking the desk’s movement and remove them.
- If the issue persists, you may need to replace the underframe.
Reset Required If You Experience Any of the Following:
- Unable to move the desk fully up or down.
- Desk only moves downward.
- Desk only moves upward.
- Desktop is not level.
Before Performing a Reset, Ensure:
- All cables are securely connected.
- Nothing is obstructing the desk’s movement.
- The desk is not overloaded.
- The key is correctly inserted into the handset.
Reset Instructions:
- Press and hold both the up and down buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds. The desk will enter reset mode and move downward at reduced speed.
- Continue holding until the desk reaches the lowest position. Both columns should be moving down.
- Once at the bottom, release the buttons and test if the desk can move upward again.
- If it does, the reset is complete.
