Electrical relay under sink 84FCSB

[pattypape]

Keith,

With or with a RediLine, Sounds like the relay is defective.
The AC power closes this relay to power up the missing circuits.
You can replace the relay or wire past it.
Just remember you or someone may want to install an inverter
in the future.
It is usually best to repair or replace as designed by BB,
