Honestly, we don't need 20 people guessing at diodes or capacitor. The charger literally consists of 3-4 components, and only 2 components are a culprit for it humming loudly and not rectifying the AC. So, when a charger acts up and still turns on with the timer, replace the cap and diodes with equivalent components and get back to charging. Simple, simple, simple! I would suggest having spare parts on hand.
Oh sure we do, that's the nature of this list. But I will say I have taken a rusted, rotted, wet leaf and dirt covered charger from my E15 wreck, removed everything from the rotted wood, made a new wood base, cleaned everything up, and re-mounted it and have a perfectly working charger.
They're pretty tough. C
