Inverter status

Excuse my ignorance. Upon returning to Mich we plugged the coach into  30A power. Usually within a short period of time the status light indicates AC in, Accept, then Float. However, the the status light hasn't moved off Accept.
Cause for concern? Are we charging the house battery's?
We still operate the OEM Freedom 25

Do you have power inside the coach?
Do you have a surge protector, that may be stopping the current?

Remove the shore power, turn the inverter off and hit the top front edge with a rubber mallet. If a relay is stuck it may open and let the charger work. If it fixes the problem a simple replacement of the relay should fix the inverter. Yes it really does work.

How dead is your battery bank? It may take a while on the accept stage.
