Possible Causes

No mains supply at charger terminals, Tripped upstream breaker, Blown internal fuse on main PCB, Failed auxiliary power supply module

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Only qualified persons should test for live voltage inside the charger.

  • Step 1 – Check upstream breaker: Verify that the dedicated breaker for the Alfen charger is ON and has not tripped.
  • Step 2 – Confirm supply voltage: Using a multimeter, check for correct voltage at the charger’s input terminals.
  • Step 3 – Inspect internal fuse: With power OFF, open the charger and locate any internal fuses on the main PCB or power entry. Replace only with identical type and rating if blown, and investigate cause.
  • Step 4 – Check auxiliary supply: If mains is present but the display is dead, the auxiliary power supply may have failed and the main PCB may need replacement.
  • When to call a technician: If internal fuses blow again or no obvious cause is found, a technician should perform further diagnostics.
