ChargePoint Mechanical Vibration / Resonance

Charger hums or vibrates excessively when mounted on the wall; noise transmits into the structure.

Possible Causes

Loose mounting hardware, vibrating contactor or transformer, charger mounted on a thin or flexible wall, missing vibration isolators.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Note: This is usually a comfort/noise issue rather than a safety fault, unless accompanied by overheating or a burning smell.

  • Step 1 – Check mounting:
    • Ensure all wall-mount screws are tight and anchored into studs or appropriate anchors.
  • Step 2 – Add isolation:
    • Install rubber washers or vibration-isolating pads between the charger bracket and the wall.
  • Step 3 – Internal check (qualified):
    • With power OFF, open the housing and verify that internal components (contactor, boards) are firmly secured.
  • Step 4 – Evaluate noise source:
    • If the noise is from the power contactor or transformer, consider replacement if excessively loud.
