Possible Causes

Loose wall mounting screws, Internal components not fully secured, Cable strain relief not tightened, Enclosure warped from improper installation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before tightening internal components.

  • Step 1 – Check wall mount: Ensure all mounting screws are tight and anchored into solid structure (studs or appropriate masonry anchors).
  • Step 2 – Tighten strain relief: With power OFF, verify the cable strain relief at the bottom of the charger is snug and holding the cable firmly.
  • Step 3 – Secure internals: Remove the cover and gently check that the contactor, terminal block, and control board are firmly screwed down.

Persistent vibration may shorten component life; address loose hardware promptly.
