Possible Causes
Loose plug in receptacle, Overheating outlet causing thermal cutback, Marginal ground connection, Internal temperature derating without display error
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Repeated heating and cooling at a loose connection can cause fire. Address any signs of heat immediately.
- Check plug fit: With power OFF, unplug and reinsert the Splitvolt plug. If it feels loose or wobbly, have the receptacle replaced.
- Feel for heat: After a charging session, carefully touch the outlet face and plug body. Warm is normal; hot to the touch or discoloration indicates a problem.
- Inspect wiring (electrician): Have an electrician check the outlet box and breaker terminations for tightness and signs of arcing.
- Improve ventilation: Ensure the charger is not enclosed or covered, which can cause internal temperature derating.
- If intermittent behavior continues: Internal sensors or relays may be unstable and the charger should be evaluated by a technician.
