Has your home EV charger stopped working? Most manufacturers will tell you that it cannot be fixed and that you need to buy an expensive replacement unit. WSMFix offers a safe, reliable, and cost-effective alternative. I specialise in component-level diagnostic and repair services for EVSE printed circuit boards (PCBs), saving you hundreds of pounds compared to a full replacement.
Whether you have a Podpoint, Myenergi, Hypervolt, Wallbox, or Ohme unit, I can test and repair the original electronics to get your charger back in action safely. I operate a convenient UK mail-in service as well as local drop-off in central Weston-super-Mare.
Common EV Charger Faults I Repair
No Power / Dead LED Faults
This is the most common issue. The charger appears completely dead with no lights showing on the front panel. This is usually caused by a component failure within the internal power supply section of the PCB. I can rebuild this section to restore full power to the logic board without replacing the entire unit.
Relay & Contactor Failures
If your charger shows a red fault light, an error message in your app, or you hear the internal relay clicking repeatedly (or not at all) when plugged in, the switching components may have failed. These are critical safety components that I can test, desolder, and replace to ensure safe charging.
Failed Handshake / "No Charge" Issues
If your vehicle detects that the cable is plugged in but the charging cycle refuses to start, the fault often lies within the pilot signal circuit. Using a custom-built test rig, I simulate a vehicle connection to trace, diagnose, and verify the signal communication before returning your board.
Physical Terminal & Connector Damage
Heavy installer wiring tension or accidental strain can rip power connectors, screw terminals, or current sensors straight off the circuit board. I professionally repair damaged tracks and resolder heavy-duty terminal blocks to restore a solid, safe electrical connection.
How My Mail-In & Drop-Off Service Works
1. Get in Touch: Use the contact form below to describe the symptoms, make, and model of your charger. I will review the details and confirm if it is a fault I can assist with.
2. Send or Drop Off Your Board: Disconnect the power, isolate the unit safely, and remove the internal PCB. You can drop it off to me locally in Weston-super-Mare (BS23) or pack it securely and send it via tracked mail.
3. Diagnostic & Repair: I trace the fault to component level, replace the damaged parts, and verify the repair on a dedicated EVSE simulation test rig.
4. Tested & Returned: Once fully tested and confirmed safe, I will invoice you for the repair and send the board back to you via tracked delivery, ready to be reinstalled.
About
I have nearly 40 years of experience in electronics and electrical engineering. When not working on domestic items, I work in the entertainment industry maintaining and repairing specialist lighting and sound equipment for concerts and other shows. I specialise in fixing things at component level, meaning diagnosis and replacement of individual faulty parts on a printed cicuit board (PCB). Often working without schematics, I trace faults using a range of diagnostic techniques and use soldering and rework methods to replace all kinds of electronic components.
My main goal is to promote a repair and re-use culture and give people the opportunity to have their electronic and electrical items repaired rather than having to throw good things away. Because of this, I also volunteer as a repairer at a local Repair Cafe in Weston-Super-Mare.
