How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Warning: A compromised enclosure can allow water ingress and contact with live parts.

  • Step 1 – De-energize if severe:
    • If internal parts are exposed, turn OFF the breaker immediately.
  • Step 2 – Assess damage:
    • Check whether the door can still seal and latch properly.
  • Step 3 – Temporary protection:
    • If power must remain on temporarily, cover the unit with a weatherproof shield that does not trap heat, but plan for prompt repair.
  • Step 4 – Replace enclosure parts:
    • Order and install a replacement front cover / enclosure shell compatible with your ChargePoint model.
  • Step 5 – Verify gasket and seal:
    • Ensure all gaskets are properly seated to restore the original IP rating.
