Common Reset Issues and Solutions

Even perfectly executed ev charger resets can encounter complications that require additional troubleshooting. Understanding these common issues and their solutions prevents frustration and saves time.

Reset Button Not Responding

Physical button problems are more common than most users realize, especially in outdoor installations.

Possible Root Causes:

Environmental factors and physical wear can affect reset button functionality over time.

Hardware Malfunction Indicators:

• Button feels mushy or doesn’t provide tactile feedback
• No LED response when button is pressed firmly
• Button appears stuck in pressed or released position
• Visible corrosion or debris around button area
• Button cover damaged or missing entirely

Improper Button Pressing Technique:

• Insufficient pressure applied to activate internal switch
• Wrong angle of pressure causing button to bind
• Too brief contact time for system to register input
• Multiple rapid presses confusing the reset logic
• Using wrong tool that doesn’t make proper contact

Environmental Damage Factors:

• Moisture infiltration causing electrical contact corrosion
• Extreme temperature cycles affecting plastic button materials
• UV exposure degradation in direct sunlight installations
• Insect or debris accumulation blocking button movement
• Physical impact damage from maintenance or accidents

Solutions for Unresponsive Reset Button

Alternative Reset Methods:

When the physical button fails, these backup methods can still accomplish reset goals.

Circuit Breaker Reset Alternative:

• Turn off dedicated breaker for full 60 seconds minimum
• Turn breaker back on and monitor startup sequence
• Repeat process 2-3 times if first attempt doesn’t resolve issues
• Document any unusual LED patterns during power cycling
• Contact technical support if multiple power cycles fail

App-Based Reset Options:

Step 3: Manual Device Addition

• Use “Add Device” function instead of automatic discovery
• Enter device serial number manually if available
• Scan QR code on JuiceBox if app supports this feature
• Try setup process during different times of day
• Contact customer support with device serial number

Bluetooth vs. WiFi Connection Considerations:

Initial Pairing Process:

• Many JuiceBox units require Bluetooth for initial setup
• Enable Bluetooth on smartphone and keep close to unit
• Complete Bluetooth pairing before attempting WiFi connection
• Follow app prompts exactly for hybrid connection process
• Don’t skip steps even if they seem redundant

Charging Functions Not Working Post-Reset

Successfully resetting network connectivity doesn’t guarantee charging functionality will be restored.

Electrical Connection Verification:

Physical electrical problems can persist even after successful software resets.

Step 1: Electrical System Check

• Verify circuit breaker hasn’t tripped during reset process
• Test voltage output at JuiceBox connection point
• Inspect all electrical connections for looseness or corrosion

• Warranty coverage is still active for professional service

Preventing Future Reset Needs

Proactive maintenance and optimization significantly reduce the frequency of reset requirements. Implementing these preventive strategies saves time and prevents frustration for busy EV owners.

Regular Maintenance Schedule

Establishing a consistent maintenance routine prevents small issues from becoming major problems.

Monthly Connectivity Health Checks

Regular monitoring helps identify problems before they require emergency resets.

When to Contact Professional Support

• Reset button completely unresponsive – Physical button failure requiring hardware replacement
• Multiple reset types fail to restore function – Deep system malfunction beyond user troubleshooting
• Unit remains offline after successful reset – Communication hardware or firmware corruption issues
• Charging still fails after factory reset – Electrical or safety system problems requiring diagnosis
• LED error patterns persist post-reset – Internal component failure indicated by diagnostic codes
• Reset process interrupts or freezes mid-cycle – Corrupted firmware or memory requiring professional repair
• Network connectivity never restored despite proper reset – WiFi module or antenna hardware failure

Frequently Asked Questions

How Often Should I Reset My JuiceBox Pro 40?

Resets should only be performed when necessary to resolve specific problems, not as routine maintenance. Under normal conditions, soft resets should occur 2-4 times per year maximum, while hard resets should be once per year or less. If you’re resetting monthly or more frequently, investigate underlying network, electrical, or environmental issues that may require professional attention.

Will Resetting Affect My Charging History Data?

Soft resets preserve all charging history, energy statistics, and billing information stored in cloud accounts. Hard resets erase local device settings but typically maintain cloud-stored data on manufacturer servers. Always screenshot important settings before resetting and verify cloud synchronization to prevent data loss.

Can I Reset the Charger While It’s Charging My EV?

Never attempt to reset during an active charging session as this poses serious safety risks including electrical arcing, vehicle damage, and potential fire hazards. Always stop the charging session, wait 30-60 seconds for complete shutdown, unplug the vehicle, and confirm no electrical activity before proceeding with any reset procedure.

What’s the Difference Between Restart and Reset?

A restart is a simple power cycle that takes 1-2 minutes and maintains all settings. A soft reset clears network configurations while preserving user settings and takes 3-5 minutes. A hard reset completely erases all settings, returns to factory defaults, and requires 15-30 minutes including full reconfiguration.

How Long Does the Juicebox Reset Process Typically Take?

Soft resets take 5-10 minutes including network reconnection. Hard resets require 30-60 minutes including complete reconfiguration and smart home reconnection. Circuit breaker resets take 5-10 minutes with a mandatory 60-second power-down period. Duration varies based on network strength and number of integrations.

Will I Lose My Custom Charging Schedules?

Soft resets preserve cloud-stored schedules and automatically restore them after reconnection. Hard resets erase all local schedules from device memory, though cloud schedules may be preserved depending on synchronization timing. Always screenshot schedules before resetting and verify cloud backup status.

Is It Normal for the LED to Flash During Reset?

Yes, LED flashing during reset is completely normal and indicates proper system operation. Expect different patterns during soft vs hard resets, with hard resets showing more complex sequences. Watch for steady operational patterns when complete. Contact support if LEDs show no activity or continuous flashing without progression.

Can Weather Affect the Need for Resets?

Weather significantly impacts reset requirements through temperature extremes, moisture infiltration, and electrical storms. Extreme heat or cold can trigger thermal protection, while humidity increases corrosion risk. Lightning and power grid fluctuations during storms often necessitate resets. Implement weather protection and seasonal maintenance to minimize weather-related reset needs.
