While defrosting the fridge I was using the outlet adjacent to the range hood to power a hair dryer on low speed/heat. I lost power to the hair dryer and thought I had tripped a breaker. I did not trip any breaker and the GFCI was not tripped, as well. Upon further investigation I discovered I also lost power to the fridge. Some of the posts on the forum indicate the fridge is part of the GFCI circuit in the bathroom, but all circuits labeled GFCI are working. The factory has indicated the fridge is on it's own circuit, but there is not a breaker labeled specifically for the fridge. Also, the single outlet fridge power outlet has two wires coming in/out, which means the circuit is most likely sourcing the outlet next to the range hood, as well; the range hood has a single romex wire. I checked voltage at the connection box just prior to the slide wiring (located on the frame of the rig) and found two romex lines feeding the kitchen slide, one is for the micro wave, the other should source the fridge and, presumably, the outlet next to the range hood. The microwave romex had power within the connection box, the second romex had no power. It sounds like I have a loose connection somewhere but I don't know the source of the wiring prior to the frame-mounted junction box. I looked in the "glob" of wiring in the basement--which gave me a headache--but I saw no clues.
I have flipped all breakers, except mains, and all were solid to the on position. I am still trying to work with the factory, but wanted to know if there is any help in cyber-land. Where is the source of the kitchen/fridge wiring? Am I missing some hidden breaker or GFCI reset?
