Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: This involves live mains and internal electronics. Turn OFF the breaker and wait several minutes for capacitors to discharge before opening the unit.
- Check for life signs: If the display and LEDs are completely dead, E17 may not show; but if partially alive, note any flickering or dim LEDs.
- Internal fuse check: With power OFF, open the EVSE and locate any user-serviceable fuses on the control board or power supply module. Test with a multimeter and replace only with identical type and rating if blown.
- Inspect for damage: Look for burnt components, cracked casings, or bulging capacitors on the power supply section.
- Disconnect peripherals (technician-level): To isolate a shorted peripheral, a technician may unplug fan, RFID, and comms modules one at a time and test if the power supply recovers.
Most internal power supply failures require replacement of the control board or dedicated PSU module by a professional.
