How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Water inside an energized charger is dangerous. Turn OFF power at the breaker immediately.
- Step 1 – De‑energize and dry: With power OFF, open the enclosure and gently dry internal components with a dry cloth. Allow several hours of air drying.
- Step 2 – Inspect seals: Check door gaskets, cable glands, and any knockouts for gaps or cracks. Tighten glands and replace damaged gaskets.
- Step 3 – Check housing: Look for cracks in the plastic or metal enclosure that could allow water entry.
- Step 4 – Improve protection: If installed in a high‑exposure area, consider adding a weather hood above the charger.
- Resolution: Replace a cracked enclosure housing or failed cable gland set. Do not re‑energize until the unit is completely dry and sealed.
