Assuming you have the same Elixir ELX-30 converter used in my 2005 Baja, here is a paragraph from the User Manual:
"Features:
...
3. Overload Protection
If your power demand (including lights, motor and battery charge) exceeds your converter output rating and voltage drops to 12.5V, the audible alarm will sound. Simply reduce your power demand by turning off the last item that triggered the alarm, the alarm will stop and your converter will function again."
Keep in mind, they are referring to 12VDC power demand. (household outlets and airconditioning are 110VAC - not related to your problem). Start by turn off all the lights. Check if you might have the refrigerator set to operate on DC. Trying to charge a bad battery could cause an overload so disconnect the battery. You could pull fuses until the alarm stops, which would isolate the circuit that is causing the overload.
If you remove all the loads and the alarm continues to sound, it may just be a bad converter.
A voltmeter would be helpful to actually measure the output of the converter.
good luck!
