Possible Causes

Damaged or mis‑seated enclosure gasket, Incorrect mounting angle, Cable glands not tightened, Cracked housing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before touching a wet charger. Do not use the charger until it is completely dry and inspected.

  • Dry the unit: Open the enclosure and gently dry accessible areas with a clean cloth. Allow the charger to air dry for at least 24 hours in a dry environment.
  • Inspect seals and glands: Check the door gasket, cable glands, and any knockouts for gaps or damage. Tighten glands and replace damaged gaskets with Polestar‑approved parts.
  • Check mounting: Ensure the charger is mounted vertically and not tilted in a way that allows water to pool.
  • Corrosion check: Look for corrosion on terminals or boards. If present, components may need replacement by a technician.
