Possible Causes

Loose high‑current terminal causing arcing, Failed capacitor or component on main board, Shorted output cable, Overloaded internal contactor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Immediately turn off power at the breaker. Do not use the charger until fully inspected and repaired.

Steps:

  • Do not open while hot: Allow the unit to cool before removing the cover.
  • Inspect internally: With power off, open the Walli and look for burn marks, melted plastic, or charred components on the main board, contactor, and terminals.
  • Check cable: Examine the output cable for melted insulation or burn marks.
  • Replace damaged parts: Any visibly damaged components (main control board, contactor, terminals, cable) must be replaced with Walli‑approved parts.
  • Root cause analysis: Verify torque on all terminals and confirm that the charger current limit and upstream protection are correctly sized to prevent recurrence.
