How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety warning: Overheating can lead to fire. If the enclosure is too hot to touch comfortably, stop using the charger until inspected.
- 1. Improve airflow: Remove any objects blocking the sides or top of the Land Rover wallbox. Maintain recommended clearances.
- 2. Shade the unit: If installed outdoors in direct sun, provide shading to reduce solar heating.
- 3. Check internal fan: With power OFF, open the charger and verify that any internal fan spins freely. Restore power briefly to confirm it runs during charging. Replace if not operating.
- 4. Inspect terminals: Look for discolored or melted insulation at input and output terminals. Tighten any loose connections.
- 5. Reduce current: Temporarily lower the maximum charging current in the app to reduce heat generation.
- 6. If overheating continues: A technician should perform a detailed thermal inspection and may need to replace overheated components or the entire unit.
