Kone Maintenance: troubleshooting and FAQs

Troubleshooting tips and frequently asked questions for Kone Maintenance.

Troubleshooting tips

  • Check the Kone elevator control panel for error codes. Refer to the Kone maintenance manual for code meanings. If code indicates a minor fault, try resetting the system by pressing the reset button (usually located inside the control cabinet).
  • Ensure that the elevator door tracks are clean and free of debris. Use a vacuum or soft brush to remove dust and particles. Lubricate the door tracks with a silicone-based lubricant approved by Kone.
  • Verify that the emergency phone and alarm systems are functional. Test the emergency call button and ensure it connects to the Kone 24/7 service center at 1800 108 1234. If not, check the phone line connection.
  • Inspect the elevator pit for water accumulation or debris. If water is present, use a sump pump to remove it and check for leaks. Ensure the pit is dry to prevent corrosion and electrical issues.
  • Regularly check the elevator leveling accuracy. If the elevator stops unevenly with the floor, it may need recalibration. This should be done by a Kone certified technician. Contact Kone India at india@kone.com to schedule a service visit.
