- I Plugged An Electric Grill Into My RV And Now Half The Power In My RV Is Out
I Plugged An Electric Grill Into My RV And Now Half The Power In My RV Is Out
by Tim
(Appling, GA)
I have a 50amp system and I guess I put too much strain on the 50 amps pulling in. Anyway I plugged a George Foreman Grill
Anyway I tested and reset all GFII Outlets
What is my next step?
Thank you
Tim
ANSWER: Hi Tim, first let's hope that George Foreman does not get wind of you accusing his grill of messing up the electrical system of your RV.
Just to be on the safe side, I would double check all the circuit breakers and fuses again.
I also recollect in the fuzzy part of my brain where an RVer had a similar problem to yours (although I might add that it was not caused by George Foreman's Grill
) and he found a hidden circuit breaker in one of the bottom Kitchen cabinets in his RV; he reset it and all was well. So, you might want to check inside some of your bottom kitchen cabinets and see if you have a hidden circuit breaker.If that does not pan out, the only other thing I can think of is to replace the GFCI Receptacle
that you had the grill plugged into and see if that resolves the problem.If all else fails, you may have to breakdown and take your RV in and have a Certified RV Technician diagnose and repair the problem.
I hope that this information has been helpful.
