Why your standing desk won’t go up & how to fix it
1. Object is in the way
You may have something that’s mounted above the desk that’s stopping it from traveling upwards. The typical culprits are mounted shelves, cabinets, or artwork.
As a safety measure, many standing desks have a collision detection feature that prevents the desk from hitting another object. When it detects an object in the way, the table will stop moving upwards and then slightly move down, giving you room to remove whatever is in the way.
How to fix this
Check for any items above your standing desk parts that may be getting in the way, and remove them.
2. Standing desk lost power
This typically happens for one of two reasons: the desk was temporarily unplugged and plugged back in OR the outlet lost power.
In many cases, when a standing desk loses and then regains power, it automatically goes into reset mode. While being in reset mode, a sit stand desk can only travel downwards.
How to fix this
To get your table to move up, you must complete a manual reset on the table.
