Possible Causes
Loose main contactor mounting, Vibrating transformer or inductor on power board, AC line imbalance, Worn relay contacts causing chatter
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF power before opening the charger. Do not touch internal components when energized.
- 1. Identify noise source: With the cover on, listen carefully to locate the general area of the noise (top, bottom, left, right).
- 2. Internal inspection (qualified): With power OFF, open the charger and check that the main contactor and any transformers/inductors are firmly mounted. Tighten mounting screws.
- 3. Check for relay chatter: If the noise is a rapid clicking, the relay coil may be undervoltage or failing. Inspect the relay and replace if necessary.
- 4. Line voltage check: Have an electrician verify that the supply voltage is within spec and balanced; severe imbalance can increase hum.
- 5. Replace noisy component: If a specific transformer or contactor is excessively noisy even when tight, replace it with the correct Besenergy part.
When to call a professional: For internal component replacement, contact a qualified technician.
