Another question on our new to us 2020 2250RK. There is a large switch next to the tv lift switch. It is one large single black switch.



What is it for?

No idea, that's a change from my 2019.
Does it possibly kill the power to the fireplace??? Nothing in that area but the TV, radio and fireplace.

That is a standard 120v residential switch. You said "new to us". Most likely installed by the previous owner, not GD.

[RobertEarl]

Maybe, but the previous owner never even took it out one time. All he did was buy some chairs and alot of sewer hoses.

I believe it is to power off the fireplace, since you have 30 amp service. You can't run the fireplace and air conditioner at the same time.

Yeah, I know, "who would do that??"....believe me, people do all kinds of crazy things.

I wonder if supply issues made the transfer switch between the fire place and AC unit unavailable at the time of his build. That could have been GD's fix for not having the transfer switch? Or the original owner my have put that in to stop the beeping from the fireplace when the AC turns off.

Well I tracked down the wiring for the firplace and that switch is for cutting off the firepplace for some reason. The reason I could not tell what it was for was
the lack of electricty going to it it. I found the clear long splice and with a non contact electrical detector, I found the other side had electricity. I unpluged the splice and put it back together twice and now every thing works. Still don't understand the purpose of the switch.
