How to reset circuit breaker

2002 Itasca MH

Forgive me for this stupid question. I'm not familiar with these
types of switches.

My house circuit breakers are located near the front wheel in
basement storage bay.

Do I push in the white center portion of the breaker switch to
reset it?

Still having trouble with house disconnect.

Thank you for your past comments on this subject.

Fred

Yes, if a breaker is tripped the white center section will stick out, just push it back in to reset it.

If you are talking about 120 v AC circuit breakers, many are like a light switch. When they trip, they take a position that looks 'almost on.' Flip the toggle to Off then back to On. People try to reset to On without going to Off. On pushmatic circuit breakers, you simply push the button and an indicator on it should show 'On' instead of 'Off.'

12 v DC circuit breakers come in too many styles to talk about here, look at one that you know is On and compare to the one tripped or not working and figure it out.

Are you talking about 120 volt AC pushmatic breakers or the 12 volt DC system? I have not seen many with the push style AC breakers but the white center turns red when they are tripped and back to white when you press them to reset.

The white popup 12 volt DC breakers are usually just like the reset button on many home appliances and motors. They pop out when tripped and you just press them in untill they click to reset them.

Odds are you have 120v circuits simular to the ones in your house.
If it is tripped the handle will be some where between the on and off position.
to reset these type of circuit breakers, you need to bring the handle all the way to the off position,then back to the on position.(when you bring the handle to the off position you should fell it reset)

There is some information not quite right here I am sorry to say, Fred.

First, what model is your coach?

Second, are you certain you are not looking at your 12V panel? That is what you are describing.

Your 120V house breakers are located in the bed base or in some there interior location. They look just like the ones you have in your stick and brick house. If you see a cover with a couple of snap locks on it that my be where your service panel is hiding.

Now, about the "house disconnect". Please be more specific. Restating the problem will help greatly. Many of us subscribe to many threads and yours is lost to my memory. Thanks.

Rick

My coach has 4 "pop out breakers" on the face of the inverter...(2 12vdc, 2 120vac)
If/when they trip... they "reset" when pushed in.

On my coach all other 120v breakers are the residential switch type....
all other12v circuits are protected by either blade type fuses or "automatic reset" breakers.

If its anything like ours, you are looking at a 12 volt panel and they simply are pressed in to reset......120AC is located inside the coach

Clarification of fuses and type of RV.

My class A is a 2002 Itasca Sunova 30 B, F53 chassis.

In question are the 12 volt circuit breakers for chassis
and house.

Not the fuses in panel next to the power converter in the
cabin area.

Thank you.

Those pop out when tripped and you simply press them back in until they click to reset. If they don't stay in when you press them then you have a short circuit or a defective breaker that needs replacement.

Good morning Fred. With the year and model of your rig I was able to come up with this: http://www.winnebagoind.com/diagram/...ire_138703.pdf

Please accept my apology for giving you the wrong information. My service panel is nothing like yours and I have not seen your type in the RV's I am familiar with.

Please look at the last page of this document and to the lower right. (You may realize that a "control +" on the keyboard will zoom you in.) If you blow that corner up you will see your service panel.

As another post states, push the popped out button. If it pops back out you have a problem. Unplug everything connected to the circuit and try again. Also look for some outlet that may be exposed to weather. That could be the source of the problem.

How are your troubleshooting skills? This could be hard to find if you don't have a good plan. We are all here for you.

Rick
