Electrical System · reported Feb 1, 2023
Converter overheated or failed to work as intended resulting in smoke leading up to an electrical fire.

There were no warning signs as we were all asleep and husband happened to get up to go check on the kids when he found the breaker panel smoking. This could have killed us and has resulted in no power and losing food, shelter and warmth during a major freeze.
