Splendide Washer Dead After Power Issue

[armullis59]

Last Week at 2am on a Thursday morning we were woken up by a loud pop and noticed no power inside the coach. Smelled burning plastic. I bolted out of bed and checked for a fire inside the coach, nothing. Next went outside and opened the power bay where the Power Switch is located....smoke coming out. I quickly threw all the breakers on the power pole off and disconnected the power cord from the RV to the pole. After first light, I opened up the Power Switch cover and saw what had happened. Burned it up! I have pictures to add later to this post later.

After getting quotes from a mobile service, it eventually cost us $855 to get that Power Switch replaced. The MacDill AFB Famcamp Office sent out an electrician to check the power pole as I was unable to remove my 50 Amp Surge protector from the plug on the power pole. The electrician pulled the pole apart and checked for a possible surge and could not find any evidence that there was a power surge. The 50 Amp Surge Protector was still indicating it was operating and there were no wiring issues detected (all LED lights were green on the protector).

So, after going through all of this and getting back on to 50 Amp service, I discovered the Washer inside was dead (dryer still works). I checked the breakers under the bed and all appears to be OK.

Does the dead washer have anything to do with the Power Switch burning up or is this just a coincidence? We were not using the washer at the time we experienced the total power failure.

I have pulled the wiring diagrams for my coach, and it appears the washer and dryer are on separate circuits to the "EMS" (I guess that is the breaker box under my bed?).

So, I am not sure what happened to the washer.
