How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Warning: Cracks can compromise water ingress protection and safety.

  • Assess extent of damage: If cracks are near cable entries or seals, water ingress risk is high and the enclosure should be replaced.
  • Temporary protection: Until replacement, protect the charger from direct rain and splashes using a cover, without blocking ventilation.
  • Replace housing: Order the correct go-e enclosure or front cover and transfer internal components carefully, ensuring all seals and gaskets are correctly seated.
  • Inspect internals: Check for any internal damage caused by the impact and repair as needed.
