Problem Inverter question

[PdMeehan]

@lostinfla I had some problems with my inverter and called magnum at 425-353-8833. A service tech called me to setup an appointment over the phone. When he called back he walked me through various troubleshooting steps such as soft and hard resets, etc. I was very impressed. unfortunately, for me, I had to replace my inverter.
The removal and installation was performed at Independence RV in Winter Garden. I believe you are in Tampa they are about 90 miles from you. Way better than 800 miles.
Best of luck!

How does this work? Doesn’t the inverter keep the fridge on when external A/C is lost? I could use an alarm for that.

I've called Magnum and can't get to a person. I get a message: "all tech support people are busy, call back later." Checked the grounds from the battery bank to the frame and on the inverter itself, and they all seem to be tight. I really don't hear fans or feel any air coming from the unit. Wondering if the fans could be the culprit. I'm going to pull the cover off the inverter and try to see if they are free or stuck. I seem to remember hearing fan sound previously. Maybe I'm mistaken.

Is the problem still there? Have the fans been making more noise lately?

I'm not going to pull it apart for a few days yet as I'm still moving back into the house from the coach. I really can't hear any sounds like fans from the unit and feel no air moving in or out of the vents. I've got the inverter turned off (charger still on) and plugged in at home (50a) to get power. I'll report when I know more.

The fan should only run with a fair load.
