Introduction

The battery terminals on the Glade Automatic Spray Holder can lose connectivity to power the mini motor for the fragrance spray to be activated. The wires to the terminals often times break off from terminal and need to be soldered back onto it for connectivity.

    • Press the button labelled glade to open the housing.

    • The inside of the holder has the timer switch and the covering for the inner workings of the holder. For this project, you only need to worry about the battery area located behind the spray.

    • Locate the timer switch and slide it to off.

    • This will prevent any accidental sprays into your face before you remove the spray canister.

    • Squeeze and remove the bottom of the front cover. This makes troubleshooting and repairing easier.

    • Pop one side of the hinge from its peg and slightly pull it away from the device.

    • Do the same with the opposite side of the device. Removing the cover will make it easier to work.

    • Remove the batteries to expose the terminals. The terminals are the thin metal pieces that hold the batteries in place.

    • Without the batteries, you can visually assess for problems like loose wires.

    • Use small needle nose pliers to gently remove each terminal. Check if any wires are disconnected or loose.

    • The terminals with negative connections (black wires) could have breaks or might have detached from the terminal base. Check for additional issues.

    • The bottom terminal is one piece instead of two pieces like the top ones.

    • Use the soldering gun and soldering electrical wire to solder the bared wire to the terminal.

    • Make sure your fingers are a safe distance away from the soldering rod and from the component you are fixing. Use pliers to hold the terminal still.

    • The solder does not need to be beautiful, just functional.

    • Put the fixed terminal back into the correct place to hold the batteries.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
