How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: If the enclosure is too hot to touch comfortably, stop charging and turn off the breaker.
- Step 1 – Check vents: Ensure all ventilation slots on the "Electrify Home" charger are clear of dust, cobwebs, and obstructions.
- Step 2 – Verify fan operation: During a charge session, listen for the internal fan. If silent when hot, the fan may have failed.
- Step 3 – Reduce current: Temporarily lower the maximum charging current in the charger settings and see if temperature improves.
- Step 4 – Improve environment: Provide shade, increase airflow, or relocate heat sources away from the charger.
- Step 5 – Replace fan or module: If overheating persists, have a technician test and replace the cooling fan or power module as needed.
