How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Switch off power immediately. Do not operate the charger while moisture is present inside.
- Dry the unit: Open the housing and allow it to dry naturally in a dry environment. Do not use open flames or excessive heat.
- Inspect seals: Check door gaskets, cable glands, and any knockouts for damage or improper installation. Replace gaskets and glands as needed.
