Partial power loss

[Rider]

3255RLL. Microwave, counter receptacle, & overhead rope LED quit working. No breakers tripped. All fuses good. Everything else works fine. Any suggestions or recommendations what else to check?

Could be a GFCI tripped or you have lost one leg of your 50 amp service. Would check for GFCI first.

Neither receptacle is GFCI. Currently on generator @ 15 amps max. Refrigerator and only 1 other at a time. Going to meter test both receptacles, fuse, and breaker.

IF the generator is a built in one I would look at transfer switch.. if portable genset then I would check the genset output and power at L1 and L2

Since those items are all near the kitchen sink, I would definitely suspect a GFCI outlet. Especially if those are the only outlets not working.

Sometimes you will have GFCI "protected" outlets, meaning they are regular outlets wired from a real GFCI outlet located elsewhere. Those are supposed to be labeled "GFCI Protected", but the labels could have fallen off, or never put on.

Also, a tripped breaker is not always obvious. The handle does not flip to the OFF position. It just moves slightly off of the ON position. You must turn it off and then back on to reset it.

Only 2 receptacles. Microwave and LED rope light plugged into 1. Coffee maker and night light into the other. All other receptacles and all fuses have power. And yes, as a former building contractor, I know to reset breakers by turning them off and back on. Meter tested, all are good. Still no power to those 2 receptacles. Going to check circuit continuity.

If you find power on both legs at the two 50 amp breakers in the RV, then you may have an issue with the connectors that feed 120vac to the slide out. There should be two of them, one for the 20 amp microwave power and one 15 amp one for all other power needs. Should be able to find the connectors inside the RV near the rear of that slide.

If I am correct, your kitchen is not in a slide out???

I would still look for a tripped GFCI outlet somewhere that may be wired to the kitchen outlets. Maybe outside or in the basement. Those outlets being near the kitchen sink should be GFCI protected one way or another. And the little “GFCI Protected” labels can dry out and fall off after a few years.

Microwave is normally on it's own breaker, overhead rope light is 12VDC so totally different circuit. If this is a slide, I would be concerned some wiring has gotten pulled apart due to be snagged somewhere on the slide. Good luck.

Microwave should be on separate breaker. Outside breaker would be my guess.

The receptacles are daisy-chained, so you have to find the one where the wires have popped out of the back of the receptacle. They use a press-in system for the wiring where the wires get pushed into a v-slot. If the wires pops out, then it kills the downstream outlets. There is a cover on the back of the outlet that snaps on to cover the wires. Open the breaker, remove the back cover, push the wires in, put the cover back on.
You might end up pulling more outlets than you care to just to find the offending one.

If you are missing one leg You might check if our shore cable is turned and plugged in correctly.
I had something similar but one leg was gone and even got the dealer to check it out.
