Possible Causes

No mains supply at charger terminals, Tripped upstream circuit breaker, Blown internal fuse on the main PCB, Failed auxiliary power supply module.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Only qualified persons should test for live voltage inside the charger.

  • Step 1 – Check upstream breaker: Verify that the dedicated circuit breaker for the Alfen charger is ON and has not tripped.
  • Step 2 – Confirm supply voltage: Using a multimeter, check for the correct voltage at the charger’s input terminals.
  • Step 3 – Inspect internal fuse: With power OFF, open the charger and locate any internal fuses on the main PCB or power entry. Replace only with an identical type and rating if blown, and investigate the cause.
  • Step 4 – Check auxiliary supply: If mains power is present but the display is dead, the auxiliary power supply may have failed and the main PCB may need replacement.
  • When to call a technician: If internal fuses blow again or no obvious cause is found, a technician should perform further diagnostics.
