Charger or cable becomes excessively hot to the touch during normal charging, but no error code appears.

Safety first: If the cable or handle is too hot to hold, stop charging immediately and turn OFF the breaker.

• 1. Reduce current: If your vehicle allows, lower the charge current setting and see if temperatures remain reasonable.
• 2. Inspect contacts: Check the J1772 pins and vehicle inlet for discoloration or pitting. Replace the cable if contacts are damaged.
• 3. Check internal terminals (power OFF): Tighten all power lugs inside the charger to manufacturer torque specs.
• 4. Evaluate circuit sizing: Have an electrician verify that the branch circuit wire gauge and breaker size are appropriate for the charger’s maximum current.
• 5. Replace overheated components: Any melted or discolored parts (handle, cable, terminals) should be replaced.
