How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF power at the breaker. Do not operate the charger with visible moisture inside.

Steps:

  • 1. Inspect exterior seals: Check the perimeter gasket of the front cover and around any viewing windows for cracks or gaps.
  • 2. Check cable/conduit entry: Ensure strain reliefs and conduit fittings are tight and properly sealed with appropriate gaskets.
  • 3. Dry the unit: With cover removed and power OFF, allow the interior to dry completely in a dry environment. Use only gentle airflow; avoid heat guns.
  • 4. Replace gaskets: Install new Leviton enclosure gaskets or sealing kits if the originals are damaged.
  • 5. Re-test: Once fully dry and reassembled, restore power and test operation. If faults persist, internal components may have been damaged and require replacement.
