Look for a small white button protruding from the side panel. Just push that button in. No flashing lights, just simply push the button in until it resets like a typical button circuit breaker.

It is very common to blow inverter circuit breakers when you use 120 VAC heaters. It makes little sense that when you are connected to park RV power that your heaters would be connected through the inverters until you stop and think that EVERY normal wall socket is on the inverters so if you plug a heater into one of the wall sockets, you are putting it on an inverter circuit. Only non-inverted sockets are the ones powering your fireplace and your washer and dryer.... things that cannot run on house batteries.

Now I have never done this, but this has been a topic on here in the past week to 10 days with a similar problem. It was originated by Freshair. Look for it. Now, my memory is that there are 2 sets of circuit breakers on an inverter. One is pretty obvious, but the other one is “hidden” and more difficult to see. Freshair had to find the more hidden one (maybe between the inverter and the rail of the chassis) and reset it before all sockets came back on. Go back and look for another one.

Now, if you run your genny for a couple of hours to get a good full charge on your batteries, you can then turn it off and let the diesel or propane AquaHot keep you warm all night. Those run off the house batteries and in my Anthem, if the batteries are charged, the diesel AquaHot will run all night without dropping my battery level below 12 volts. However, be sure to set your AGS to auto start your genny if the house batteries are below 12 volts. That could happen if they are not about 90% charged.

Keep us advised

I agree with Stu!!!

Same thing happened to us several weeks ago
Fix was as suggested above
White reset on the side of the inverter

Hi Larry,

Would you be willing to speak with my DW?

OBTW, rvguy02, if the reset button restores normal ops, as long as you're hooked up to 50 amp overnight, there's no need to run your generator. Ample charging from your 50 amp service to recharge your batteries and power everything else.

Take care,
Stu

YES YES YES! Thank you SO MUCH! I pushed the little white button and BINGO! God, I love this forum!!! Thanks Stu from Stuart and everyone else who helped out. Learn something new every day!

Good stuff......

Seperately, if you have a coach with a fireplace, it should be wired to a non-inverter supplied socket. I don’t like mine to run all night, but lots of people do.

I have found that most space heAters are about ~ 1800 wTts. One of those may be OK if you don’t use other heaters or 120 VAC devices (microwave, coffee pot). Most of those heaters can be run half power at ~ 800 watts and I find that I can use 2 of those at 800 Watts at the sAme time along with the AC element if the AquaHot. However much more than that will cause problems.

Use the diesel AquaHot or propane unit and worst case, run the genny all night.

10 minutes from when you posted, you had the right answer.

Glad you got it all back working.

Indeed, this iRV2 can be very helpful.

Take care,
Stu

When my rig did that it turned out to be a burned out control module in the 30 amp transfer switch. Used a couple wooden sticks to close the contacts while I got a new one sent in.

That was an easy one, next time make it a little bit of a challenge. I love this forum great people lots of knowledge.
