Thank you for sending this link to manual. I will proceed thru the troubleshooting section this morning. Hard for a big guy to crawl inside the space behind pass thru wall. Inverter is mounted directly under the bottom step going up to bedroom and pushed up tight against outside wall. Only way to see fault LEDs and LCD display is to unscrew it from floor and rotate it. Not much room for a screwdriver to remove screws. Bad enough they placed it out of sight behind a wall, but they took the extra step to make it so you can't read the display once you access it!

Checked out my inverter today. Verified it is receiving 120 volt supply. It plugs into a non GFI receptacle. Refrigerator runs on shore power so I’m guessing no problem with refrigerator outlet. When I turn off shore power the inverter shows an amber light verifying that it is in inverter mode. I have verified that I have 12.9 volts feeding into the inverter from batteries. The LCD display indicates 12.9 volts DC, 0 amps and 0 volts AC. I suspect inverter is toast but wish I could confirm that before ordering a new one. I’ve called WFCO, the manufacturer but have yet to receive a call back.

Thought I would give an update on my inverter issue. I suspected that the inverter was toast and after a call to a Grand Design rep and a service tech from WFCO that has been confirmed. Thats better than the alternative of a wiring issue from the inverter to refrigerator outlet in my opinion. Replace it and move on versus tracing down a broken wire or loose connection in the wall or belly of camper. The WFCO-5110R is kind of an old school electronics inverter. It uses transfer relays to switch between shore power and inverter power. Over time these relays, like most relays arc at the contacts, and sometimes stick closed. In my case they stuck closed on the shore power side. Thus, no inverter power. I've ordered a replacement and hope to have it early next week. My kudos to Grand Design for their troubleshooting help. Answered on the first call. WFCO provided excellent trouble shooting assistance, it just took three days to get ahold of them. They were apologetic and said they are running on a skeleton crew because they can't get any help. Typical of most businesses these days. I plan to address two issues I found. Both the inverter and converter are mounted to the floor behind the pass through wall. In the event of a water leak they would be toast. I plan to raise them up off the floor out of flood range. I have one question concerning these inverters. In researching different inverter manufacturers their information states that they are not to be mounted in the same compartment as the batteries. This is due to possibility of a fire or explosion. So as others here have mentioned, theirs are mounted in the front hatch, on the ceiling where batteries are located. How does Grand Design or any RV manufacturer skirt the safety factor?

Good job with your persistence. Also with your updates.
Our invertor was toast when we took delivery. The tech doing the walk thru did not even know what the invertor switch was ( it would not turn on for me ).
GD sent me a new one to my house and I installed it off the floor and away from the water a bit. Our inverter is never turned off. I have the frig running all the time (we are full-time rv'ers) on pure sine wave power.
