Title: Powerwatch
Post by: paul r on May 31, 2013, 08:13:55 am
My Powerwatch stopped working on my 98u270.When I went to turn the frig on I got an A 4 warning in ac mode.Seems to work ok in propane mode.Anybody know where I can find a vintage Poowerwatch module...seems they do not make the old style anymore.

Are you saying your fridge does not work on 120-volts? If so, your 120-volt breaker is probably tripped, also turning off PowerWatch.

You would not want to replace PowerWatch without checking to see if you have 120-volts on the wire to PowerWatch.

Paul, A common problem is the Ground Fault Circuit Breaker gets tripped and all the 110 circuits go dead.  Check the GCFI in the bath.

We also have a GFCI in the cabinet above the stove for the microwave. Check that one also if you have one.

I think I may have a power watch, but it does not control the power into the coach, only tells if you have reverse polarity and the voltage. Sounds like you are not getting 120 volts into the coach
