I have had a Leviton EVR40 charger for about 3 years now. I used it on the Rav4, our Kia SoulEV and now the Chevy Bolt. This morning I heard a strange noise that I thought was coming from the roof. It was early and I just could not figure it out. I had to go so as I entered the garage I could hear the noise more clearly. It was the Leviton charger that was making a loud clicking noise. It was not charging the car correctly. I unplugged the unit from the car and unplugged the charger from the 240 volt wall outlet. I plugged everything back in and the charger seemed to work ok. It sounded like a circuit opening and closing. I am worried that this may be the start of a failure. Not sure about my warranty. I was thinking of pulling it apart and trying to order the part. Anyone else experience this sort of problem? I do have my JESLA to fall back on. If I recall there is a device inside that closes the circuit to allow current to flow. I am just having a brain delay in remembering the name of the part.

[QUOTE="drmanny3, post: 25452, member: 511"] I have had a Leviton EVR40 charger for about 3 years now. I used it on the Rav4, our Kia SoulEV and now the Chevy Bolt. This morning I heard a strange noise that I thought was coming from the roof. It was early and I just could not figure it out. I had to go so as I entered the garage I could hear the noise more clearly. It was the Leviton charger that was making a loud clicking noise. It was not charging the car correctly. I unplugged the unit from the car and unplugged the charger from the 240 volt wall outlet. I plugged everything back in and the charger seemed to work ok. It sounded like a circuit opening and closing. I am worried that this may be the start of a failure. Not sure about my warranty. I was thinking of pulling it apart and trying to order the part.
