How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Fan service requires opening the unit; isolate power first.

  • Check ambient temperature: Ensure the charger is not installed in a very hot or enclosed space causing genuine high temperatures.
  • Listen for grinding: A grinding or rattling noise indicates worn fan bearings and need for replacement.
  • Service cleaning: A technician can open the unit, clean dust from the fan and vents, and test the temperature sensor.
