Possible Causes

Open ground conductor in supply wiring, Loose ground connection at JuiceBox ground terminal, Corroded or missing ground bond in service panel, Faulty ground sensing circuit on main control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: A missing or faulty ground is a serious shock hazard. Do not bypass ground protection. Turn off power at the breaker before inspection.

  • Verify ground connection at the unit: With power OFF, open the JuiceBox and confirm the green or bare copper ground wire is securely attached to the ground terminal or bar. Tighten if loose.
  • Inspect supply cable: Check that the supply cable entering the unit includes a dedicated ground conductor and that it is not cut or pinched at the strain relief.
  • Panel ground check (qualified person): At the service panel, verify that the branch circuit ground is properly landed on the ground bar and that the bar is bonded per code.
  • Continuity test (advanced): With power OFF, measure continuity between the JuiceBox ground terminal and a known-good building ground. High resistance or open circuit indicates a wiring issue that must be corrected before use.
  • Persistent E08 with verified ground: If wiring is correct and ground is solid, the ground sensing circuit on the main control board may be faulty and require replacement.
