How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Water and electricity are dangerous together. Turn off power immediately if water is present inside the unit.
- Disconnect power: Turn OFF the breaker and do not use the charger until it is fully inspected and dried.
- Open enclosure: Carefully open the Zencar housing and inspect for water trails, rust, or corrosion on terminals and boards.
- Dry thoroughly: Allow the unit to dry in a warm, dry environment for at least 24–48 hours. Use desiccant packs if available.
- Inspect seals and glands: Check the door gasket, cable glands, and any knockouts for proper sealing. Replace damaged enclosure gasket or glands.
- Address corrosion: Light surface corrosion on terminals can be cleaned; heavy corrosion on the main control PCB or power components usually requires replacement.
