Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes
Low supply voltage due to undersized wiring or long run, Loose connections at breaker or JuiceBox input, Utility brownout or overloaded circuit, Faulty voltage sensing on main control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before opening the charger. Only qualified persons should work inside the panel.
- Check for other heavy loads: Temporarily turn off large appliances (HVAC, ovens, dryers) on the same service and see if the E05 condition improves. If so, the service may be overloaded.
- Inspect input terminals: With power OFF, open the JuiceBox and verify all input terminal screws are tight and conductors are fully inserted. Look for discoloration or heat damage.
- Measure voltage under load: Have a qualified person measure voltage at the JuiceBox while attempting to charge. If voltage sags significantly below nominal (e.g., under 208–220 V on a 240 V system), the branch circuit wiring may be undersized or too long. Upgrading the circuit may be required.
- Try a lower current setting: In the app, reduce the maximum current (e.g., from 40 A to 24 A) and test. If charging becomes stable, this confirms a supply limitation rather than a charger defect.
- Persistent E05 with good voltage: If measured voltage is stable and within spec, but the charger still reports undervoltage, the main control board sensing circuit may be defective and require replacement.
