Washer and dryer combo

[concord_05]

Our new to us 2010 itaska suncrusier has a washer/dyer combo that won't power on. Found the breaker and re tripped it but still no power. Is there a fuse somewhere I've missed? Everything else is working fine. My son is camping in it right now so haven't got to look for other causes yet.

Actually our trip has been planned for months but we Very unexpectedly traded for this motorhome home 2 weeks ago. Not the way I had planned but it's the way it is. Our 2 day shake down trip was great and so far these are the only issues. Much less than our brand new travel trailer that both slides leaked on our maiden voyage. Thus the unexpected trade.

Mystery solved. It's not plugged in! After a utube video figured out how to release pantry drawer slides and removed drawers above combo. Then could see back of combo after leaning in. Attempted to plug it in but it will take someone younger, smaller and more flexible to maneuver the plug in. Didn't check it out but I think the water is turned off and it makes me wonder if this thing has ever been used. Thanks for all of the advice. Now to figure out why the refrigerator says no gas flow when the range top works fine. Leaving Thursday for at least a month heading towards Idaho, eventually ??

your welcome as that's exactly what I suggested was wrong

Hopefully the w/d wasn't disabled for a reason.
Look in the back of the fridge outside for the gas valve possibly being off, as well.
As for leaving on a trip, no sweat, unless there's something serious, since I've fixed a bunch while on the road and most of what I did on our present coach, although no biggies, were on our second and longer voyage. Never know when these things break anyway and even when you leave home without any issues.

Keep in mind that I am smiling from ear to ear as I post this but am I to understand that you are leaving Thursday on a trip, at least a month long, and only now did you test the washer and are trying to figure out the fridge gas issue? You might have wanted to spend a couple of days/nights in the coach before you headed out on such a trip. What else are you not sure works? Have a great trip. I wish you the very best!

My 1997 gulfstream and my 2002 Allegro bus you had to pull back the washer to get at the plug in;; I don't see how the EMS will effect a 120V outlet that a small washer/dryer runs off and seriously doubt it has anything to do with the OP problem

An EMS can be set and programmed to shed any load and have had it do so on my present coach with the w/d outlet when once hooked up to a low power source.
Didn't like the setup on our old 30amp gas puller, so fixed it to only shed the a/c's and after installing a dual power adapter to run the rear ac separately.

Also check the door safety interlock. Mine sometimes sticks and I have to open and close it a couple of times and then it works fine.

Shore power is on in the rest of the rig. Above the washer is the pantry which is 3 shelves that pull out. Can't see the back of the combo but wlll see if I can remove the shelf tomorrow and get to it. The clothes hamper is to the left. Maybe it pulls out. I have some exploring to do tomorrow. Right now I'm going to search Winnebagos website and see what i find. Thanks for the suggestion.

My belt kept coming off so I cut a rectangular opening in the closet wall that the combo was against to allow access, albeit narrow, to the rear of the unit. Now I can clean the rear, put belt back on without pulling the unit (really heavy) and power cord removal if desired.

not familiar with your rig but if it has a dishwasher in it it may have a switch up under a cabinet that only lets the dishwasher or the washer/dryer on but not both at the same time. on mine it looks like a light switch

No but not sure how to access plug except unbolt it and pull it out. That sure sounds reasonable. Will check it out when i get it back home.

There's usually access to the outlet without removing the unit. Ours is in an adjoining closet and with a little wood plate to cover it, if I'm remembering correctly.
Before doing anything and if you have and EMS, make sure all the lights are on.....and/or just reset the main in the breaker box to get the go lights.
