How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety warning: Moisture inside an electrical device is dangerous. Isolate power immediately if water is suspected inside.
- 1. Turn off power: Switch off the dedicated EV charger breaker before touching the unit.
- 2. Inspect exterior: Look for cracks, gaps around cable entries, or missing screws that could allow water in.
- 3. Open and dry (qualified or careful DIY): Remove the cover and gently dry visible moisture with a lint-free cloth. Allow the unit to air dry completely for several hours in a dry environment.
- 4. Check gaskets and glands: Inspect the door gasket and cable glands. Replace any flattened, cracked, or missing seals. Tighten glands to compress seals properly around cables.
- 5. Improve installation conditions: If the charger is exposed to direct rain or spray, consider adding a weather hood or relocating if allowed.
- 6. If corrosion or damage is present: Have a technician assess internal components. Corroded control boards, RCD modules, or terminals may need replacement.
