Doug, My first thought is the Jennair is 240V and you're plugging into 120V shore power. Does the voltmeter work on your AC panel? What is the voltage when running the generator? (you have to switch the breakers to the genset to see its output on the voltmeter) If it's 240V, there's your answer - the Jennair will only work on 240V. Actually, the more I think about it, the voltmeters may just give you 120V on each leg even when the gen is running, producing 240V. Here's another way to check - if you can get your eyeballs on the wires that go to the Jennair, see how many wires enter the unit. If there are 3 - should be black (hot), white (neutral) & green (ground) - the unit is 120V. If there are 4 wires - black & red (2 hots), white & green, it's 240V.
You have two 30A shore power inlets, right? Lots of Uni's do - mine does - to support air conditioning loads. The XFER breaker lets you run the whole AC panel from either inlet. The Uniflites were delivered with wiring diagrams. I have mine. If you have yours, and the Jennair is original equipment, the wiring diagram would help too. Hope this helps, John Strong 1981 37 Coastal Cruiser On Wed, May 1, 2013 at 2:45 PM, Doug <[email protected]> wrote: > I have a JennAir stove/grill on my 1984 46' Uniflite.
