GFI FYI eieio!
We had a wiz-bang thunderstorm about three days ago. My bride called me at work yesterday... "What does it mean when the 'fridge is reading 60 deg. and LP is flashing?" I asked her "Do you see the microwave clock?"
Answer "YES". Hit auto changeover? "Yes"... still flashing... LP (I only open 1 bottle at a time, so I know when to refill.)
Raced home at lunch... all 110 breakers Test OK... Power to rig TOK... turn on second bottle... 'fridge goes to LP cooling. Reach into access door and unplug 'fridge... plug into live extension cord.. 'fridge switches to shore power... Just because.. I hit the GFI reset in bathroom... CLICK! it resets... all is well with the world! Threw away about $300 worth of steaks, swordfish filets, scallops, etc... but cheaper than a new 'fridge.
Next project... dedicated 110 to back of fridge bypassing GFI, but with surge protector.
Any thoughts?
