Possible Causes
Loose line terminals inside charger, Overheating contactor, Marginal breaker or wiring, Overtemperature sensor triggering without display code
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the breaker before any physical inspection. Intermittent connections can arc and overheat.
- Check for pattern: Note if charging stops after a consistent time or when ambient temperature is high. This suggests thermal issues.
- Feel for heat: After a charging session, carefully feel the front of the charger and the breaker (without opening anything). Excessive warmth at the breaker or charger may indicate loose connections.
- Electrician inspection: Have a licensed electrician open the wiring compartment, tighten all line and ground terminals to Bosch-specified torque, and inspect for discoloration or melted insulation.
- Service internal components: If wiring is sound, a technician should inspect the internal contactor and temperature sensors and replace any overheated parts.
