I have been working with xantrex tec support. They suggested a authorized repair. The inverter checks out on the test bench. I suspect a problem in the interface.
SOURCE: Xantrex Freedom 458 Combi inverter/charger 2000 watt
OK my 2000 Discovery does the same thing. Try and hit the inverter charger with your fist 3-4 times, then listen and see if the charger fan starts up. I will be bringing my inverter to Portland this week to have the tech look at it. The other thing is it could be the transfer switch. Will let you know.
SOURCE: inverter won't charge
check if the inverter has a fuse for the charger, if it does test it if it is still ok if not change it
SOURCE: I have the Xantrex Freedom
Upgrade to one of the Freedom remotes, the 458 has different software, and features than the old Freedom 1500.
SOURCE: Is there a bench test for the Xantrex freedom 458
My experience has been thay there is no real "bench test" available to the general public. You can do some testing if you are familiar with how to read the color codes on resistors, and know how to test relays. There are two fuses inside, so you can check their continuity. Before going to this trouble though, get on line and download the Xantrex trouble shooting guide, bulletin No. 512-0084001-01 rev1. If that is ok, it'll be a trip to the dealer, where you'll learn that it costs about $400 to replace the board. I'm on my second one, in two years, so they aren't a long life article I'm afraid.Hope this is helpful for you.
