Not so sure but what you are describing is similar to a problem that we had. A Circuit Board went out so I had to get the unit repaired. The good thing is that I had installed a Source Isolation Switch for the circuits that I wanted supplied from the inverter so all I had to do was move the selector.
Let me explain what I did here. I took the shore/inverter power into a source isolation switch that has 3 positions Inverter/Off/Shore. I then took only the circuits that I wanted powered by the Inverter (Microwave/Forward TV/Aft TV) and connected those to the Switch and the Circuit Breaker, this also helps to ensure that all power is disconnected. When the Inverter Failed I was able to choose to by-pass the Inverter.
