Ensure the iPhone is positioned correctly. Some wireless chargers can be fussy about positioning.

Force restart the iPhone, and try again: Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

Confirm the charger is plugged in, getting power, and that there is no visible damage to the charger or the cabling.

Try a different iPhone with this charger, and try this this iPhone on a different charger. See where the problem moves.

If it still doesn’t work, a DFU reset might clear it: If you can't update or restore your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support

Following that, you’re probably headed for a hardware repair.

I did the restart but will have to wait to try the wireless charger as I charged the iPhone using a cable. It is not a hardware problem as the chart showing battery history for the last 24 hours shows that the power was connected overnight yet the charge dropped from 96% to 65% while connected wirelessly. (It is highlighted in green and the charging bolt symbol is there.)

So when you next get back to the charger, see if it now works, then follow the rest of the reset described, then contact Apple.

It now works. In addition to restarting of the iPhone, I disconnected the charger and re-connected it.

Thanks for the advice.
