• Seal Integrity: Ensure the door gasket remains pliable and free from cracks or tears. Replace if necessary.

8. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your electrical enclosure.

• Water Ingress: If water is found inside the enclosure, immediately disconnect power. Inspect the door gasket for damage, ensure the door is properly latched, and check all cable entries and unused holes for proper sealing with plugs.
• Door Not Latching: Ensure no obstructions are preventing the door from closing completely. Check the lock mechanism for any debris or damage. Apply firm pressure when closing to engage the gasket.
