How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: A damaged enclosure may no longer be weatherproof or touch-safe.

  • Step 1 – Inspect damage: Determine if any internal components or wiring are exposed. If so, turn off the breaker immediately.
  • Step 2 – Avoid water exposure: If outdoors, protect the unit from rain until repaired or replaced.
  • Step 3 – Do not attempt DIY structural repair: Do not tape or glue the housing as a permanent fix; this can compromise safety certifications.
