Possible Causes

Improperly sealed conduit entries, Missing or damaged cover gasket, Mounting on uneven surface causing warping, High humidity with inadequate ventilation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before opening a wet charger. Do not touch internal components if they are visibly wet.

  • Step 1 – Power down and dry: Turn breaker OFF. Remove cover and allow the unit to dry completely in a warm, dry environment (24–48 hours). Use gentle airflow; do not use direct heat guns.
  • Step 2 – Inspect seals: Check the perimeter gasket on the cover for cracks or compression damage. Ensure all screws can be tightened evenly.
  • Step 3 – Seal entries: Verify that all conduit or cable entries use appropriate watertight fittings and are tightened.
  • Step 4 – Re-mount if needed: If the wall surface is uneven, consider adding a flat mounting plate to ensure the charger housing is not twisted.

If corrosion or damage is visible on the control board or terminals, components may need replacement by a technician.
