How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Water inside an EV charger is hazardous. Do not use the charger until inspected.
- Step 1 – Switch off power: Turn OFF the charger at the consumer unit and any local isolator.
- Step 2 – Do not open while wet (unqualified users): Wait for a qualified electrician to open and inspect the unit.
- Step 3 – Technician drying and inspection: The electrician should open the enclosure, carefully dry internal components, and look for corrosion, tracking, or damaged seals.
- Step 4 – Replace seals/glands: Fit new enclosure gaskets and correctly sized IP‑rated cable glands as per Pod Point specifications. Replace any cracked housings.
- Step 5 – Electrical tests: Perform insulation resistance and RCD tests before re‑energizing. If corrosion is significant, replace the control PCB or other affected parts.
