Outlets not operating

DW had hair dryer plugged into non GFI outlet under the bed. Circuit blew. Now no TV front or back and wardrobe outlets dead. Flipped all breakers. Dual roof ACs are working. All GFI outlets are working. Any suggestions?

Check the breakers on your inverter. Think all the outlets you mentioned are on the inverter circuit. Also I think there is a circuit beaker in your panel under the bed for the inverter.

Circuit breaker under bed. You might want to see if your inverter comes on. The breaker on inveeter are just bottons or a on/off switch.

GREAT, glad to help. Hair dryers and inverter circuits some times don't mix.

We are in upstate NY. Adirondacks are beautiful in summer. Hiking, kayaking, canoeing if you like that sort of stuff. Lake Placid still living the 1980 Olympic Dream. Quaint town that hasn't changed in the 60 years or so I've been going there. Haven't done VT, NH or ME. Cape Cod is also a possibility. Lower Adks have the Finger Lakes.

ThaNk you

Thanks for this thread. Plugged portable heater in bedroom and poof, no TV s. If it wasn't for you guys, I'm sure I'd be taking things apart today. The inverter switch did the trick. Now back to enjoying our week in the Berk in beautiful , sunny, and warm San Diego.
