How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety warning: Unusual noises can indicate impending failure. If the noise is accompanied by smell of burning or heat, stop using the charger.

  • Check mounting: Ensure the MUSTART charger is firmly mounted to a solid surface. Loose mounting can amplify normal hum.
  • Listen for pattern: A brief click at start and stop is normal; continuous loud buzzing is not.
  • Monitor temperature: During operation, periodically feel the charger housing. It should be warm but not excessively hot.
  • Service if persistent: Continuous loud buzzing suggests a failing relay or magnetic component inside the main control board, which should be replaced by a technician.
