Power inverter 364ts
When I unplug the coach from shore power the fridge turns off. The inverter light is on but no power. Is there a fuse or breaker for that? If so where is it?

Check the breakers in the battery compartment.

The light for the inverter is on so that is getting power. I just don't think it's getting out of there

We have a 351DS, our inverter is located in a dummy basement. I have to unscrew the round cover and stick my hand in the hole. There is a switch/ breaker on it that has to be reset at times. This basemen is directly under the fridge.

Thanks I found it. New issue. The plugs on it are the gfci plugs. They are shot. I cannot reset them. Do I pull the unit and replace the gfci plug or call the repair place and have them hash it out with the extended warranty place. It's a 2016 364 but was manufactured in 2015 so I'm sure the inverter is out of warranty

I would think your inverter is covered under the xtd-warranty. If it's an easy fix, then I just do it. Takes everyone too long to get on the same page. If it's a hassle you might call a mobile mechanic to keep you going. I haven't had to do this fix yet. Let me know what you find out.

Well from what I hear if I replace the gfci plug myself it voids the warranty. I've already replaced the fridge under warranty and that was $3300 that is plugged into the inverter so that is why I am hesitant. But it's a simple plug. If I can get the cover off then I'm home free. I pressed the reset button pretty dang hard hahah I hate all the gfci plugs on the coach. That's what the breakers are for

I haven't heard that about the warranty. My mobile mechanic works with our warrenty company, so it's not a big deal for me. I'd call your warrenty people and ask. They should be able to give you some names of people they work with.

Maybe, they should have checked your inverter when they changed the fridge.

Ok thanks. I'll give it a shot. Yeah I was told if I alter the inverter then it may not be covered under warranty. The gfci is built in so replacing it would mean completely opening it up

I can't help you with this particular problem. Before we disconnect the power or turn off the main power switch, we make sure every device is off. Refrigerator turned off, AC and water heater's, and slides are in. Then we hit the main power switch off and unplug. I try not to stress any part of the system. If we're running the generator we wait until I hear the microwave beep and then we fire up the refrigerator and AC.

What happens when you plug back into shore power. It the fridge works then I would suspect either the smaller transfer switch or inverter.
Test the inverter by plugging in a small 110 volt light. If the light works then it is your smaller transfer switch. Not to be confused with the larger transfer switch.

The gfci does not have power. I cannot reset or test the outlet. I took it to the shop since it's covered under my extended warranty. I pay $100 to get a brand new inverter that looks like they go for $500 plus install.

Sorry, I missed understood your post. Glad you got it fixed. As for the GFI plugs they are completely different than the circuit breakers. They serve a different purpose.

Hey no problem. Thanks for replying. Yeah the plug in the inverter ended up being shot. I've heard it from a few posts that they put terrible plugs in and a lot of people take the gfci out and put a regular one in. I'll let you know when it's done if if was wrong

Did you try unplugging the transfer switch from the inverter and resetting the outlet then?
Sometimes those outlets won't reset with a load on them
