GFI Popped and Won't Reset

I had a similar issue right after purchasing my practically new Roadtrek. I pushed Test on the GFCI receptacle breaker and could not get it to go back on.

I called Roadtrek this morning. The trick to resetting the GFCI receptacle breaker is to push it first **ALL THE WAY OFF ** then push it on. It takes some * muscle ( for a woman ) because I thought it was off, but when I really pushed it off , it then was truly in the off position and then it went back on - without difficulty and - without needing to be connected to shore power. And all outlets work fine.

Had the same issue but on our 5th wheel. Turned out it was not the only GFI plug on the circuit. There were three and had to reset them all. Not saying that is your problem but check it out. The fridge was the culprit after a rain & wind storm blew water into the bottom vent.

There is something else to check before replacing the outlet. Turn off the power, take the outlet out of the wall and look behind for dampness or a water leak. The GFI pops in the presences of moisture and won't reset if it is still wet. Make sure it is completely dry. If so, then replace the outlet with a new GFI.

Thank you all for your replies. We have tried all of these except for replacing the outlet itself. We called Lazy Days and will be bringing it in for them to look at as it's under warranty. We tried the hidden button trick, running the generator, unplugging things and then plugging them in and nothing has worked yet. We thought it might be the outside outlet as we had heavy rain but nope. Or maybe I had splashed water on the kitchen one but no. Or a problem at the pole, but we have a Progressive power surge protector and it says zero errors. We do have power, the tv and blu ray work but not the outlets nor the refrigerator. I will update when we find the problem.
Thanks again everyone

Is the shore power you are plugged into also a GFI?

Sometimes they fight each other and don't play nice.

The other might be off not letting the coach one reset.

GFI/GFCI are the same thing, and will not pop because of an overload. If the GFCI popped it could be a bad outlet, or GFI. GFI's are there to protect you from being electrocuted, so if you have one popping find out why, and get it fixed.

Merry, I also have a PW, but not the Pursuit. I think the following instructions may still work for you since it is a common problem for PW owners: Open the door to the compartment that has the battery "kill" switch in it (the red key). You should see two circuit breaker boxes in there too, a 40 amp and a 15 (or 20) amp. On the side of each box is a teeny tiny button that pops out when the circuit breaker is activated. You have to push the button in to reset the breaker and turn on the electricity again. Now, this button is very very small and may not be visible; you have to feel for it usually.

If the Pursuit doesn't have this set-up, I'm sorry. I suggest you try joining the PW Facebook group and/or Yahoo group since many more owners have experience to help you there.

Good luck!

Keep in mind, that the refrigerator is now running on battery so you need to make sure the converter is working or you will have more problems.

I agree with what others have said above, but the OP states that this is a brand new RV. If I could not find anything obviously wrong I think that I would return to the dealer for warranty work. JMO

Before replacing a GFIC. Try a different shore power or run off the generator first. There is a chance your shore power connection is the problem.
