There is one other possibility.
Before you deinstall the converter, put a meter on it, or on the terminals of your battery control center. On my 36D, the converter feeds the control center, and the control center feeds the batts. I had a situation where after I replaced the converter, my house batts were charging, but not the chassis batt. Turned out that in addition to the bad converter, I had a blown fuse on the control center that controlled the relay for charging the chassis battery. There is also a fuse/relay for charging your house batteries.
If you check the output of the converter, and it's not 13.5-14.5 volts, then it's dead. If it IS good, then you've likely got a fuse problem in the control center.
