Can a converter cause AC problems

Hi Gang, was wondering if DC converter could go bad and cause shorts on the AC side? Pretty sure I have a converter go bad ( no DC power between positive & neutral) and caused my GFCI outlets to get hot & burn.

Thoughts?

Proper terminology goes a long way in helping to understand the problem. A DC source is typically measured between positive and ground (or negative), not neutral.

At the moment, since you didn't mention anything other then GCFI going out, I'd consider them two separate issues.

Is the breaker for the 110 for the converter tripped?
