Outlets Not working

[Mwild]

on travel and we have hurricane 34J . Our Kitchen outlets, Outlets under the Kitchen table not working. We reset the GFCI and that outlet works, We turned off the Breaker and it's on.. any other things to look at?

[16ACE27]

Did you check BOTH GFCI outlets? Most MHs have two.

[lwmcguire]

As Ace noted, almost always two

It is important to be sure to check all breakers and reset any that could go to outlets by flipping them off and on

If you have a load management system do you have something like a fireplace or washer kicking the others off?

[Mwild]

2nd GFI, not sure where that is. Humm!

[Mwild]

No Fireplace or washer. All other outlets work, lights are on. Just these outlets. Frustrating and always since its probably something stupid, just can't find the right switch

2cd bath if you have one, kitchen / galley area

Basement

[Mwild]

only 1 bath. 1 gfi breaker that I'm aware of. the gfi outlet works. We have a hurricane 34j and not aware of 2nd outlet. We had more than we probably should have plugged in. frustrating

[lwmcguire]

Someone on another thread found a loose wire on the GFCI feed the string

[Mwild]

I will check but I know we has too many things plugged in so I don't know if a wire would come loose

Just like to add another question about outlet not working.... are there any other outlets that are on the SAME line as the one under the seat in the dinette area? (mine is ACE 33.1). All of my outlets are working, EXCEPT for that one under the seat.

[Mwild]

Total - about 3-4 outlets all those on the same gfic and
all do not work..everything else is rv appears to work fine

If you’ve traced all of the non working outlets to being downstream of the GFCI that you’ve identified and if that outlet works after resetting its a near certainty that there is a loose wire at the GFCI. Either that or a fault in the GFCI outlet. They do tend to use cheap Chinese outlets so if all else fails you could try replacing it with a high quality one from a home center. Be careful if you are not familiar with working with electrical circuits and, of course unplug before you start. Good luck.

[Mwild]

Ok will try to replace the GFI in AM as a starting point. Thank you

If you have any outdoor plugs, those are likely GFCI’s also.

[cavie]

Are you talking about GFI outlet or GFI breaker? Two different things.

[Mwild]

Replaces gfi outlet and no luck. Had a little power as coffee light flickered on , but then nothing . Breaker controlling the outlet works. Confused what else it can be .

Loose connection to the outlet(s). I assume since the GFCI outlet was replaced that is not the problem there. I assume the GFCI outlet is working?

If so, time to pull each of the downstream outlets and check the wire connections. RV manufacturers use cheap "pinch and cut insulation" type connectors as they are easy and quick to install, but are susceptible to losing connection in a moving vehicle.

Going down to your bigbox hardware store and buying a 10 pack of their cheapest duplex outlets would be a big upgrade.

Good place to do some checking, our outside outlet was in bad shape, it was really disappointing when it wasn't the source of our trouble
Found it in a junction box under the floor of the sink cabinet
When you put the wire nut on those 3 white wires and tape it, but don't twist the wire nut AT ALL.

[Pete'sMH]

Well if the problem wasn’t at the GFCI outlet but the downstream outlets are still not working find the first outlet in the chain after the GFCI and check it for a loose wire or, as mentioned above simply replace it with a decent “regular” outlet. If the chain is bad the front link has to be the problem.

[Mwild]

The first outlet in the kitchen basically is like a mini junction box and has three connectors there going out. This could be a bad outlet but will have to try and find a new one. Not sure local box store will have these
