We were cooking in the micr/conv oven, and we plugged a toaster oven in the same cct apparently. Lost power but......Did Not trip circuit breaker or the GFCI outlet. I have pulled all of the outlets to check for issues, nothing. Could there be another fuse somewhere?? I have power at the panel on the load side of the breaker, but not at any of the outlets in the galley...stumped. I figure we had 20-26 amp load on the 15 amp breaker.. we assumed the conv/micro was on a dedicated circuit. Help

Also reset the inverter one circuit was tripped.

Hi , You mite check the wires at the outlets to see if one has come off. If it is the first in line it would have the hole line out. Good luck

Sounds like you may have an inverter problem. Normally the inverter passes through the power when you are connected to shore power but in this case the breaker blew. I have no idea which inverter you have but I would suggest that you check out the inverter as the source of your problem. On ours, Xantrex, we can reset it by unplugging and then replugging in telephone wires. Ours also has an internal fuse which can blow. Another suggestion is to reset the inverter by unplugging from shore power, then plug back in after a minute. Be sure all heavy loads are off when you do this. Hope this helps.

Just a thought...the patio outlet is subjected to weather. Check if it's looking strange in any way. And check the voltage there.

check the reset buttons on your inverter. good chance one of them needs reset.
been there done that.

I did reset the 15 amp inverter circuit and still no power.

Just on a chance we are miscommunicating, did your reset occur at the inverter or at your breaker panel?

I replaced a breaker and a GFI outlet and delayed a group start by four hours until I finally read my schematics and found the inverter mounted breakers in the basement.

They are installed between our bedroom breaker panel and the adjacent GFI outlet for the inverter circuit, but reside in the basement.

Who would've thunk.

Breaker panel did not trip. Reset an inverter circuit.

I had this happen once too. Finally found that the breaker panel has a circuit breaker for the inverter that had tripped. Turned the circuit breaker off then reset it and problem solved.

Have a nice day - Darrel

Thanks for all suggestions will look into when I get back home today. Safe travels all

We have had this happen when the hair dryer is plugged into the GFI in the bathroom. Check and make sure ALL of your GFI plugs are reset, we have two of them and the micro-convection is on the bathroom one with the hair dryer. DACOTAH

Still looking argh............ Heading to work to grab a circuit tracer to find where the feed is

On my old rig, there are circuit breakers on the inverter, and two on the wall of the electric utility bay just behind the inverter.

Each of the breakers on the utility compartment wall affect outlets. These have not been mentioned in your comments and may not exist on your rig.

I found them buy using the electrical schematics that came with my rig.
