I just went to plug in an appliance into my 120V outlet and find that all 3 outlets are dead. I verified AC power to the POD. I plugged in a circuit tester and no power at all, so it's not wired incorrectly. The GFCI circuit is not tripped. The breaker is not tripped - I did flip it off then on to make sure. The breaker is labeled 15AMP fridge and GFCI but when I switched it off the fridge DID NOT shut off? In fact, none of the breakers shut off my fridge. Any info will be helpful, if not, it's off to the dealer again.  2015 179 purchased in Nov 2014 ------------- R-POD is R-PAD Black Ford F350 Oregon License "HQRSE" |

You keep mentioning "the breaker"... did you try flipping all breakers at the same time (including the master)? Its possible that something is mislabelled or that the labels are misaligned to the breakers and you've been flipping the wrong one (which might explain the fridge). Try them all (all off, then all on), just to be 100% sure. Apart from that - what about other 120v electrical devices in your r-pod? Does the A/C work? The television? The microwave? If none of them work, then you've got a much different problem. ------------- Craig :: 2009 RP171 towed by a 2017 F150 |

How are you verifying AC power to the pod? TT ------------- 2010 176 FJ Cruiser |

Your fridge didn't "shut off" because all you can see of it "running" is the control and indicator lights. They run on 12v.

| Try switching all the breakers off and then back on again. Some breakers are hard to see when they have tripped. |
