BMW Wallbox intermittently stops charging mid-session without clear error; charging resumes after reconnection

Safety first: Do not touch hot metal contacts. Allow components to cool before inspection.

• Check plug fit: Ensure the Type 2 plug fits snugly in the vehicle inlet. Excessive play can cause intermittent contact.
• Inspect for discoloration: Look for browning or melting around the plug pins or vehicle inlet. This indicates overheating and requires component replacement.
• Monitor temperature: If charging stops on very hot days, reduce the maximum current in the BMW Wallbox settings and improve ventilation around the unit.
• Check network stability: If using smart features, ensure your internet connection is stable; try disabling remote control features temporarily to see if behavior improves.

Persistent mid-session dropouts with visible heat damage or no network issues suggest worn contacts or internal thermal problems. A BMW-certified technician should inspect and possibly replace the cable assembly or internal power module.
