How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker immediately. Do not operate the charger while moisture is present inside.

- Inspect exterior: Check for visible cracks, damaged cable glands, or loose front panel screws that could allow water ingress.
- Technician seal inspection: A technician should remove the front panel, inspect and replace the gasket if compressed or damaged, and reseat the panel evenly.
- Replace damaged parts: Replace any cracked housings, glands, or grommets with Porsche-approved parts to restore the IP rating.
