There is a dedicated transfer switch that takes power from either the inverter, or shore power. When on shore power, it should switch from inverter to shore power. So either the transfer switch is not actually getting shore power (circuit breaker tripped maybe?), or the transfer switch is not operating correctly.

Check to see if the refrigerator circuit breaker is not tripped.

Checked breakers, nothing tripped. Must be transfer switch. I know the battery off (disconnect) is to preserve the battery when not camping, should it be on or off when on shore power?

 

[danemayer]

Battery cutoff should be left ON while on shore power. That will keep the battery fully charged and will also keep 12V systems working during power outages.

I see a lot on Amazon. Here is the GoPower 50 amp TS, with arrival date of Nov 5th for me (which is only 1 day). I used this TS for about a year, until I moved to a GoPower IC2000, which has the TS built in.

Finding a replacement Magnum CSW-TS15 looks to be difficult at the moment. You could consider a Kisae

My switch was working.. now it will not come on. I do not see a circuit breaker for it. Still, do not see anything tripped. Battery disconnect is on . Inverter go out perhaps?

In the front compartment, check the bottom of the inverter for a GFCI reset button.

Unplug the communication cable at each end and look for any green corrosion. And maybe put a bit of dielectric grease onto the connection
