Possible Causes
Loose neutral at terminal block, undersized house wiring, failing EOC power supply filter, loose harness connector
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before inspecting electrical connections.
Steps to check:
- Terminal block: Inspect and tighten all terminal block screws where the power cord connects.
- Neutral wiring: Ensure the neutral wire is secure and not discolored or overheated.
- Harness connectors: Check main harness plugs to the EOC for tight fit.
- House wiring: If dimming persists, have an electrician verify the branch circuit wiring and breaker size.
Note: Mild dimming can be normal when large loads switch on, but significant flicker indicates a wiring issue.
