Possible Causes

Loose wall anchors or mounting screws, Mounting to drywall without proper backing, Vibration from repeated connector insertion, Incorrect hardware used

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF power at the breaker before tightening any screws that might contact internal wiring.

Steps:

  • 1. Check mounting hardware: Verify that all exterior mounting screws are present and tight.
  • 2. Inspect wall structure: Ensure the EVSE is mounted to a solid stud or masonry, not just drywall. Add appropriate anchors or backing if needed.
  • 3. Tighten internal brackets (qualified person): With the cover removed and power OFF, tighten any internal brackets securing the EVSE chassis to the mounting plate.
  • 4. Replace damaged hardware: Use Leviton-specified mounting kits or equivalent rated hardware.
