My Level 2 charger stopped working on a Tuesday and I almost lost my mind

My ChargePoint home unit just gave me a solid red light last week around 4pm. I tried the breaker flip, the reset button, everything I could think of for an hour. Turns out the internal GFCI had tripped from a tiny bit of moisture in the J1772 handle. I had to take the cover off and dry the pins with a microfiber cloth and a hairdryer before it would charge again. Has anyone else dealt with a moisture lockout on their home unit?

Oh man, I feel your pain. That solid red light panic is real. Did you have to leave the hair dryer on it for a long time to get it working again?

Whoa dramatic much? It's just a hair dryer fix, not a crisis.
