![]() He ensures that it isn’t working before tripping it. On this example RV, there’s a GFCI circuit located in the bathroom. Should this be the case for your appliance, he recommends testing whether other circuits are connected. He says that most outlets located near water sources are ganged to a ground fault circuit interrupter. Next, Dave inspects power in the microwave. You can verify this by checking the status of other 110v outlets. If power is flowing, the issue could be in the appliance itself. In Dave’s case, he has removed the refrigerator from its cavity to check for power at connection points and in the wiring. If all is good in the center, you should go to the appliance(s) giving you trouble. Use a non-contact voltage tester to ensure 110 volts are coursing in the circuit breakers by removing the panel and clamping onto a ground surface. Starting at the Centerįirst things first, when you notice that an appliance or multiple appliances aren’t working, you should check that power is indeed reaching the distribution center. Tracking down the power through the RV will tell you exactly where the problem resides, which may save you hundreds of dollars in bills from needless repair visits. This video shows commonsense tips for tracking down electrical problems, including checking GFCI outlets that might trip in one room and affect the appliances they’re ganged with in another. Specialized testers are important in checking circuits, and Dave shows you how to safely ground these testers to avoid sparking and shocks. You’ll learn simple methods for checking circuit breakers inside and out by using non-contact voltage testers. In this video, RV maintenance and repair expert Dave Solberg walks you through the process of RV distribution center troubleshooting. Doing the diagnosing and repair on your own can eliminate expensive repair visits, ferreting out small problems you can fix yourself. The problem could even be at the source in the campground or storage facility. RV distribution center troubleshooting can show whether the electrical problem is in the wiring, the outlet, or the circuit breakers, which service the electrical system that feeds into your appliance. Using common sense RV troubleshooting methods can narrow down the possibilities, helping you to figure out exactly what kind of repairs you need. Many times it’s the power system that’s broken down somewhere between the source and the appliance. When your RV appliances aren’t working, it’s not always right to assume the appliance itself is broken. Finding out why your refrigerator won’t stay cold or your microwave won’t heat is crucial for having a happy trip. DC output voltage (no load) approx.: 14.6/13.6/13.Cruising the open road in your rig can give you a sense of freedom, but when your necessary appliances stop working, that freedom can be tainted by the hassle of fixing them.Engineered with the user and variable environmental conditions in mind.Fully charge and maintain any battery types while providing very clean DC power.Ideal for use in RV, automotive, boat, car audio, or any applications where battery charging or 12V power is needed.Can also be wired in series or parallel to reach even higher power outputs.Works with both lead batteries and lithium batteries.Reverse polarity, overload, and thermal protection.Temperature controlled quiet internally mounted fan cooling.Fixed output mode voltage can be set between 13.0V DC to 16.5V DC."Switch mode" type: 3-stage charging and fixed single output modes.Charges battery or powers 12V equipment.Have any questions? Contact us online or call our friendly Customer Care team today! There are also great features included such as an internal cooling fan, LED indicator light, and protection for reverse polarity, overloads, or thermal issues. The fixed output mode voltage can be set between 13V DV and 16.5V DC. Use a small stick, screwdriver, or another small item to actuate the switch. To switch between the modes, there is a switch on the side, labeled with the names. 3-stage charging can be used for lead batteries and the fixed single output mode can be used for lithium batteries. ![]() ![]() As this is a "switch-mode" type, there are two modes available: 3-stage charging and fixed single output. This model of power converter is an exact replacement for WF-9800 series power converters. It can charge various battery types and power 12V equipment. This 110V AC to 12V DC RV power converter runs on 35 amps. This way, you can power your appliances and charge your batteries with the shore power from the campground. Because of this difference, you need to have a converter to change the power from 110V to 12V. Many RV appliances run off of 12V power, however, the shore power that you get from the campsite is generally 110V. ![]()
