Plugs not working

[Pipeliner]

So my 15 eagle is having some issues. All th kitchen plugs including the one for microwave and fridge are out. The ones in the outside kitchen and on side of RV are out. He outdoor fridge and microwave plugs work. The fuses and breakers are good. I pressed the reset on the gfci but it did no good. Any ideas of where to check next?

It sure sounds like a GFCI is tripped, do you only have the one GFCI with the reset button. I would hit the test button then reset to see if that does anything, the reset should click if it has power

I believe GIFIs won't reset if there is something plugged into the circuit that has a fault.

If a circuit breaker trips, it has to be reset by pressing it to the off position and then back on. Just turning the breaker to the on position doesn't reset a tripped breaker and restore power.

How do you know there is no power to your fridge? Do you have a 'residential' fridge or the standard RV electric and propane fridge?

Were things working and suddenly quit? Or ?

Could be a GFCI. They do go bad from time to time. Would also check the breaker with a multimeter to make sure the breaker is good.

I agree with "oldmanAZ" unplug everything and start (where power comes into the RV)with the basics.

I think it might be a different issue. The gfi, could be poped, as the frig and general kitchen outlets, as they should be tied to the gfi on the bathroom.

However, the microwave is not gfi protected. It is the only item connected to that circuit breaker branch.

Does the air conditioner work? If not I would look at the breaker that feeds the tt. If there is power there, then start working towards the tt's internal breaker box, assuming you have already flipped and rest the breakers inside the tt.

If the ac has power, then the issue is inside the tt. I would start at the gfi, and reset it, then try flipping all the circuit breakers.

From here it could get more challenging. The only thing these two branch lines have in common is the circuit breaker panel. So I would start there. Did they both die at the same time?

Also, electric side of water heater is also down. I’m going to get to it this afternoon and see if it is plugged in to a gfci also

[Pipeliner]

Any yes. It all went down at the same time

If the GFCI is okay another option is to check all the connections in the junction boxes (if you can find them). We lost power to half of the trailer and that’s what it ended up being.

I have seen plugs come undone at the junction boxes. They will be in your basement behind the front wall. Usually mounted to floor. Coming from your converter they usually go to a junction box. Usually this would be one circuit though not multiple. If you give me model number I can give you schematic

[mia389]

I would check the junction box. If you give me model I can get you a schematic. Should be located in front basement behind wall mounted to floor. I had a common come loose and half the outlets only had 60 volts. Image below of the culprit

[Rustysocket]

Is it a 50amp setup? If so are you positive you have power to both legs at the pedestal?

[Pipeliner]

Thanks for the replies, I still haven’t traced down the problem. I hate electrical. But I think I either have 2 problems that happened at the same time or it’s my converter/breaker. My water heater is tied derectly into box, no gfci or junction box.

30 or 50 amp?

a Similar thing happed to us a few years ago. The rig was plugged into 50 amp service. It turned out to be we lost 1 leg of the 50amp at the power pedestal. If you are plugged into 50amp service use a adapter and plug into the 30amp receptacle. If everything comes back on your problem is the 50 amp at the power pedestal

Are you plugged into shore power 120 volt ? They only work when plugged in, or on generator.

We just had a house with half of all the electric was down. Turned out the 60 amp breaker was bad,old house! 1/2 of the breaker was down.
