How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Cracked enclosures can compromise IP rating and expose live parts. Isolate power before touching damaged areas.

  • 1. Inspect for exposure: Check whether any live parts or wiring are visible or accessible through the crack. If so, do not use the charger until repaired.
  • 2. Temporary weather protection: If the unit must remain out of service for some time, cover it with a waterproof, non-conductive cover to prevent further water ingress.
  • 3. Replace enclosure parts: Order the correct Vestel front cover or enclosure kit and replace according to service instructions, transferring internal components as needed.
  • 4. Check mounting hardware: Ensure the charger is securely mounted to prevent further mechanical stress.
