Xantrex RC/GS RC7 Not Charging

Good morning, We are in Tucson on our way to CA staying at Lazydays KOA. This morning the inverter stopped charging the house batteries. Buzzer sounded and error light came on. System shows "inverting" and and "waiting for AC power". We have AC power because the air conditioners are working fine. I checked the manual and the red error light covers a multitude of issues, overheating, etc. BTW, still morning here, so temps are in the high 70s. Any ideas on the problem or how to troubleshoot? Many thanks in advance!!!

Hope you are fixed by now but if not I suggest that you unplug the cords that look like telephone cables from the inverter for a brief time then reconnect. That is a reboot of the inverter. That is the simplest thing to try first.

Sorry hit send before finishing. Next try a light whack on the transfer switch.

One more thing there is a fuse reset button on the inverter itself. Push that.

Thank you for your suggestions. The problem was resolved today. The solution was simple. When I checked the AC breakers none of the inverter breakers (there are 4 of them) looked as if they were tripped. Well, I had a technician come over, and after doing a hard reset of the inverter, checking power, etc. We checked the breakers again. Sure enough, one of them had tripped ever so slightly and was not noticeable until you flipped it off, then on. That was an expensive breaker reset, but at least it is fixed and I learned a lot. Thanks again!
