ClipperCreek Overheated Component or Insulation Breakdown

Noticeable burning smell from EVSE during or after charging, even though it may still function.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Loose terminal connection, Failing contactor, Overloaded wiring, Internal arcing at PCB or relay

Safety first: Immediately turn OFF the breaker and discontinue use if you smell burning or see smoke.

Visual inspection (power OFF): Open the EVSE and look for charred components, melted plastic, or soot deposits.
Check terminals: Tighten all screw terminals and inspect for signs of overheating at the contactor and input lugs.
Replace damaged parts: Any burned contactor, wiring, or control board must be replaced, not reused.

Do not restore power until all damaged components are replaced and wiring is verified by a qualified technician.
