How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not use a damaged cable or connector. Turn off power at the breaker and keep the connector away from children and pets.
- Visual assessment: Identify any cracks, exposed wires, or bent pins. If conductors are visible or pins are deformed, the assembly must be replaced.
- Do not attempt DIY repair: Do not tape over or glue damaged parts; this is unsafe for EV charging currents and voltages.
- Order correct replacement: Obtain a genuine Schneider EVlink tethered cable assembly or Type 2 socket module compatible with your charger model.
- Professional installation: Have a Schneider Electric–qualified technician replace the cable or socket and perform insulation and functional tests before returning to service.
