How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the charger before manipulating the cable near the unit to avoid accidental start of charging.
User steps:
- Fully unwind the tethered cable from the Andersen unit.
- Lay the cable straight on the ground to remove twists, then rewind it carefully following the pattern recommended in the Andersen manual.
- Check for obvious obstructions in the cable storage area and remove any debris.
If the cable still binds or will not store:
- A technician should inspect the internal cable guides or spool mechanism (if present) and replace any broken guides.
- Check the cable for flat spots or kinks; replace the tethered cable assembly if damaged.
