Was having problems with my block heater not coming on (no not this summer, but in late Spring), but kind of put it on my to do list for this summer. Well, after reading the prior posts about loose connections at the service panel I decided to check while I was over at the storage yard today.....what do you know? No, there was no loose connection, the breaker was just switched off.....hahahahaha! Don't know how that happened. OK, one thing crossed off the to do list!
I did, however, go through and tightened each connection anyway. There were a few that were getting a little loose, so hopefully I have averted future electrical issues originating at the service panel.
Still need to get together with Steve Ward to troubleshoot some other minor issues, including the bad relay on the genset. Need to isolate the stuff that runs off the inverter after reading Steve's posts. Right now when I turn on the inverter every AC outlet, and appliance has power......I now understand that is not good. Really just need a couple of outlets and the TV's to work. Finally, need to install the new microwave/convection oven I bought on Ebay.
