How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF power before tightening any screws or opening the unit.
- Check mounting: Ensure the charger is firmly mounted to the wall or pedestal with all screws tight. A loose housing can amplify normal hum.
- Listen for source: With the cover closed and power ON, carefully listen to identify if the noise is from the top, bottom, or side. Do not open the unit while energized.
- Service inspection: A technician can open the unit, tighten the contactor mounting hardware, and inspect for coil buzzing due to wear. If the contactor is excessively noisy, replacement is recommended.
