Pod Point LEDs indicate over‑temperature, charging stops or derates after a short period, unit feels hot to the touch

Safety: Overheating can lead to fire risk. Do not cover or obstruct the charger.

• Step 1 – Check ventilation: Ensure there is adequate clearance around the Pod Point (as per installation manual). Remove any items blocking airflow or radiating heat onto the unit.
• Step 2 – Reduce charge current: If supported by your Pod Point model and app, temporarily reduce the maximum charge current (e.g. from 32 A to 16–20 A) and observe whether the fault disappears.
• Step 3 – Inspect for discoloration: With power OFF, look for discoloration or warping of the plastic housing, which may indicate internal overheating.
• Step 4 – Internal inspection (electrician only): Isolate supply, open the unit, and check the terminal block for loose screws or signs of overheating. Tighten to manufacturer torque specs and replace any heat‑damaged components.
• Step 5 – Check temperature sensor: Using the service manual, test the temperature sensor (thermistor) on the PCB. If readings are out of range or intermittent, replace the control PCB or sensor assembly as specified by Pod Point.
