I callef Swintek (hope I spelled that correctly). They told me that error code happens when “I don’t get enough power to ny RV”. Could that be because of the 15Amp supply from my house? Anyway, the tech told me how to reset and clear the error code. The refrigerator did turn on on shore power though. I have decided to unplug everything AND not to plug it again once I am sure it is Ok and Safe to do so.
My unit is 30 amp. But I used to have a 50 amp 5th wheel as well. I had an electrician friend of mine wire a separate 30 amp circuit and plug to where I park the MH. Cost was less than $100 for materials and a case of beer. I leave it plugged in year round. Just check the batteries every 6 months or so.
