Loss of 120 volts at receptacles

1994 american eagle
no voltage to all receptacles except for one. reset all the breakers. is connected to on shore power. is there another fuse or breaker other than the panel under the bed? I discovered the problem when the outside freezer-fridge stopped cooling.

If your fridge outlet is off the GFI may have defective heating element place fridge on LP gas and disconnect the heating element cord to its outlet and see if you now have power to other outlets after resetting the GFI..

We had the same thing happen a while back. Our problem was a bad 120 receptacle in the lower bay. It had corroded and since it was on the same circuit as the GFCI it would not reset.

I just looked at the GFCI and took it out. had some rust on one of terminals and is just a mess. Hope this is the problem. Wonder if something tripped it down stream. We will see. Off to the hardware later today.

If GFCI won't reset either it is bad or another problem is down stream. May have to check each receptacle for problems in the box and unhook everything.

Many time the GFCI just gives up, it is common.

Look for a tripped circuit breaker in the face of your inverter.
My Heart Freedom 20 inverter/charger has pop-out breakers...(push in to reset).

(My BIL's '95 Eagle has the same inverter/charger).

A GFCI will not reset is it has no power. It's not a fault downstream - that would cause an immediate re-trip after the reset, but would not stop the reset from working.

gfci

replaced the gfci. Had to reset it a few times and finally got 120 to both legs. Will monitor it for the next couple of days. Thanks for all the help.
One side of the gfci was not making contact. It is now with the new gfci
Thanks for all of the post. You all are amazing.
love you guys
J.
