Possible Causes

Charging current set higher than installation rating, Blocked ventilation around go-e Charger housing, Loose internal connections causing localized heating, Failing internal current sensor or power electronics

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Overheating can lead to fire. Do not cover the charger or operate it above rated current.

  • Check current setting: In the go-e app or via DIP switches (depending on model), verify that the maximum charging current does not exceed the cable size and breaker rating. Reduce the current and test again.
  • Improve ventilation: Ensure the charger is not installed in a sealed box or covered by objects. Maintain the clearance recommended in the manual and avoid direct sunlight if possible.
  • Inspect for heat damage: With power OFF, open the housing and look for browned plastic, melted insulation, or a burnt smell around the terminal block and power board. Tighten all high-current connections.
  • Monitor temperature: Use the app (if supported) to monitor internal temperature during a test charge. If temperature rises rapidly even at low current, the internal power board or temperature sensor may be defective and should be replaced.
  • Do not bypass protection: Never attempt to bypass thermal sensors or fuses. Replace faulty components with original go-e parts.
