GFI Reset
Does anyone know how to reset the GFI outlets. I have a 2011 31THSB. I have tried pushing the reset and checked the breaker. The light is red and says see instructions. I don't have any instructions. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: GFI Reset
Could be you still have a fault someplace or the outlet itself could be bad. Try unplugging the fridge and the water heater and see if it resets then. Either one of those can seem to work fine but have a heating element that may cause a ground fault.
Oh and

to the Forum from the U.K. My GFI was triping I traced the fault to where the water heater plugs into the wall under the sink unit.

Re: GFI Reset
Wight, is it possible you have accumulated moisture in the outlet itself? I know that GFIs are extremely sensitive to moisture.
It's also possible the outlet has gone bad and needs to be replaced. Push comes to shove, you could always run down to the local hardware and replace the one that won't reset. Save the receipt in case it doesn't fix the problem.
Oh, and ditto on the
.

Re: GFI Reset
I thought the moisture could have been my problem. I flipped up the cover on my outside outlet when powerwashing the wildcat. I figured i tripped it then. A typical gfi will try to reset and then trip immediatly if moisture is a problem. This won't even try to reset. Thanks to all for the welcome.

Re: GFI Reset
The first thing I do when troubleshooting a GFI receptacle (after confirming proper incoming voltage) is disconnect the wires from the load terminals. Leaving the line terminal wires as is.
If the GFI then resets, I know I have a problem down line. If it fails to reset, I know I have a bad GFI.

Well, it's a 2011, I would take it to the dealer and let them figure it out. It sure sounds like there is something wrong in there.

Re: GFI Reset
Forest River must have gotten a really good deal on the GFIs as I am also having the same problem in my2011 32QBT. Have to talk to the local dealer and tell them that mine is bad..
Take care

Mine as well on my QBT, the one under the sink in the bathroom. I never used it until last weekend.
