reid9439 Report post Posted June 20, 2012 I am currently on the road in British Columbia headed home to Virginia. This morning I noticed, that while hooked up to shore power, that my refer did not switch to A/C. Thinking low power, I started the generator to see if maybe I needed 50amp instead of the 30amp shore power. Nothing. I also noticed that the ice maker acts goofy. It tries to cycle but cubes hang up like maybe the heater is not functioning to release the cubes. So, I've lifted the lever to stop making ice. I know the A/C switch over worked before I left home in May. Any ideas? I can manage on gas but I would like to take advantage of A/C when it's available.

wolfe10 Report post Posted June 20, 2012 Plug in any other 120 VAC appliance into the refrigerator 120 VAC plug in the refrigerator outside access door to verify that you have power to the outlet. If so, unplug and check the A/C fuse on the refrigerator PC board. If not, check breaker AND GFI. The GFI may need to be reset. If it is tripped and trips again when the refrigerator switches to 120 VAC, you may have a shorted out heating element in the refrigerator. Of course something else on that GFI circuit may have tripped it. Brett Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reid9439 Report post Posted June 20, 2012 Sorry. Solved my own problem. Just happened to notice that the GFCI was tripped in the lavatory (of all places) which controls the refer. Go figure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfe10 Report post Posted June 20, 2012 Excellent. Yes, it is quite common for a GFI to serve several outlets with the refrigerator being one of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
