How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Cracks can compromise IP rating and expose live parts. Treat as a safety risk.
Steps to try:
- Visually inspect: Look for any openings where you can see internal components. If visible, switch off power immediately.
- Do not tape over: Do not attempt to repair the housing with tape or glue; this will not restore safety ratings.
- Technician assessment: A professional should inspect internal components for damage or overheating.
- Replace enclosure: Replace the front cover or entire housing with genuine Hager parts. If internal damage is found, replace affected boards or the complete unit.
