What to do if my DeWalt DXGNI 2200 engine runs but has no AC output?

  Matthew OconnellAug 13, 2025
  If your DeWalt Inverter engine is running but there's no AC output, first reset the circuit breaker. Then, check and repair any poor connections or defective cord sets. Try connecting a device known to be in good condition. If equipped, correct any ground fault and press the reset button on the GFCI receptacle. If the inverter module is overheated, ensure the service door is on and let it cool for 15 minutes by running the engine without AC output, then restart the generator. For any other issues, it is best to contact IASD.

Why does my DeWalt Inverter engine shut down during operation?

  Christopher BarnettAug 16, 2025
  If your DeWalt Inverter engine shuts down during operation, first check if the fuel tank is empty and refill it if needed. Also, verify the oil level and fill the crankcase to the correct level if it's low. If a RED light blinks on the side panel badge, the CO PROTECT may have shut it off due to accumulating carbon monoxide, so relocate the generator to an open area outside, far from windows, doors, and vents. If a YELLOW light blinks, it may indicate a system fault; confirm the YELLOW light blinks when the generator shuts off, and if the CO PROTECT continues to fault, contact IASD. For any other engine faults, it is best to contact IASD.

Why does my DeWalt DXGNI 2200 engine start then immediately shut off?

  If your DeWalt Inverter engine starts and shuts off immediately, it might be due to the CO PROTECT system. If a RED light blinks on the side panel badge, relocate the generator to an open area outside, away from windows, doors, and vents, as it indicates carbon monoxide accumulation. If a YELLOW light blinks, it suggests a system fault; confirm the YELLOW light blinks when the generator shuts off, and if it continues, contact IASD. Also, make sure that the fuel cap vent is ON. For contaminated fuel or a defective low oil level switch, it is best to contact IASD.

  If your DeWalt Inverter engine lacks power, try reducing the load. Clean or replace the air filter if it's dirty. Ensure the choke is fully open by setting the OFF/RUN/CHOKE Dial to the RUN position. Clean the spark arrestor if it's clogged. Replace the fuel filter if it is dirty. For engine service needs, it is best to contact IASD.

What to do if DeWalt DXGNI 2200 bogs down when load is applied?
- D
  Donald CaldwellAug 31, 2025
  If the DeWalt Inverter engine runs well at no-load but bogs when a load is applied, disconnect any shorted electrical load. See Know Generator Limits to avoid overloading the generator. Replace the fuel filter if it is dirty. For issues related to engine speed or a shorted generator circuit, it is best to contact IASD.

Why does my DeWalt DXGNI 2200 engine surge or stumble?
- C
  Charles GarciaSep 3, 2025
  If your DeWalt Inverter engine surges or stumbles, replace the fuel filter if it is dirty. For issues related to the choke being opened too soon, or if the carburetor is running too rich or lean, it is best to contact IASD.

How to fix a DeWalt DXGNI 2200 Inverter that will not start or runs rough?
- R
  Raymond CortezNov 19, 2025
  If your DeWalt Inverter engine will not start, or starts and runs rough, first ensure the OFF/RUN/CHOKE dial is correctly set to 'Choke' for a cold engine or 'Run' for a warm engine. Check and clean or replace the air filter if it's dirty. Make sure the fuel tank isn't empty, and if the fuel is stale or contains water, drain the tank and refill with fresh fuel. Ensure the spark plug wire is connected, and replace the spark plug if it's bad. If you suspect overchoking, set the dial to 'Run'. Also, check the oil level and fill if low. Make sure that the fuel cap vent is ON. Clean the spark arrestor if it's clogged. For other issues, such as an excessively rich fuel mixture, a stuck intake valve, loss of compression, a defective ignition coil, a closed throttle plate, contact IASD. If the car...
