How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety warning: Water and high voltage are a dangerous combination. If you suspect water inside the unit, do not power it on.
- Disconnect power: Unplug the charger or switch off the breaker immediately.
- Drying period: Move the charger (if portable) to a dry, sheltered location. Allow at least 48 hours for drying. Do not use external heat sources like hair dryers directly on the unit.
- Inspect cable entry: Check the rubber grommet or gland where the cable enters the MUSTART housing for cracks or gaps that could allow water in.
- Re‑test: After a thorough drying period, reconnect power and test. If E12 persists, internal insulation or the main control board may be compromised and the unit should be professionally inspected or replaced.
