Well this thread came along at the right time, but I was not smart enough to listen to Russ.
Last night a thunderstorm rolled through Memphis (I am camped on the river). I stayed plugged in during storm. This morning, no power. I checked the pedestal and had power there. I removed the Surge Guard protector that I had on my cord. Still no power. So I opened the box on my transfer switch. Both contractors are up. When I pressed down the shore power contractor, I had power.
I called Newell support and they say that the controller board is bad. (I just replaced transfer switch about six months ago).
Ok, gang...any thoughts? Is there something else that I am missing?
Right now my plan is to use my toothpick to hold down generator contractor while traveling....have the part sent home and change it out when I get back.
