How to fix no LED lights on my Kohler Inverter when AC power is applied?
If neither of the LEDs on your Kohler Inverter turn on when AC power is applied, it could be due to two main reasons. First, there might be no AC power available at the battery charger; connect AC power or reset the AC breaker on the main panel. Second, there could be a component failure, which would require replacing the battery charger.
What to do if the battery is discharged but the Kohler Inverter charger has power and is operating?
If the battery is discharged, but the Kohler Inverter charger has power and is operating, check the 5-amp fuse F2 (5A-T) inside the battery charger and replace it if necessary. Also, check the inline fuse F4 and replace it if needed.
What to do if the green LED stays on when the battery is known to be low in my Kohler Inverter?
If the green LED on your Kohler Inverter stays on even when the battery is known to be low, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check for an open DC output fuse and replace the AGS-10 fuse if necessary. Second, inspect for faulty or contaminated terminal connections; clean, tighten, or repair all terminal connections. Finally, one or more cells could be damaged, so perform a load test on the battery and replace it if required.
What to do if my Kohler 12RES cranks but does not start?
If your Kohler Portable Generator cranks but doesn't start, first, make sure the manual fuel valve is open and check the fuel supply tank. Insufficient fuel pressure could also be the cause, so verify adequate fuel pressure, considering the generator and other gas appliances. Inspect the fuel regulator/valve and check spark plug wires and connections. Clean, regap, or replace the spark plugs if needed. Finally, check for loose or open connections at the fuel valve and the engine spark control module, ensuring controller/engine wiring continuity.
Why does my Kohler 12RES start but then shut down?
If your Kohler Portable Generator starts and then shuts down, check the controller's LED display for a fault shutdown code. Correct the fault, then move the generator set master switch to OFF/RESET to reset the controller. Also, make sure the fuel supply is on and inspect the fuel lines for restrictions or excessive length. Replace a clogged air cleaner element. Check fuses F1, F2, and F3, replacing any that are blown. If a fuse blows again, test the generator components. If the engine is hot, check the air intake, fuel adjustment, oil level, and air inlet/outlet.
What to do if the red LED stays on for more than 24 hours on my Kohler Inverter?
If the red LED on your Kohler Inverter remains on for more than 24 hours, there are a few potential causes. It could be due to one or more inoperative or damaged cells, in which case you should load test the battery and replace it if needed. Alternatively, the battery charger might have reduced its output voltage due to a DC overload or short; remove the source of the overload or short, disconnect the battery charger’s black (NEGATIVE) ring terminal from the battery, reapply AC power, and check if only the green LED lights up. Another possibility is that onboard DC systems are drawing more current than the battery charger can replace, so try turning off all DC equipment while charging.
How to troubleshoot a Kohler Inverter when the green LED is off and there is no output voltage?
If the green LED is off and there is no output voltage from your Kohler Inverter, check the power supply to the charger. Also, check the upstream circuit breakers and fuses, as well as fuse FS (1A-T) inside the battery charger.
What to do if red and green LEDs stay on for more than 24 hours on my Kohler Inverter?
If both the red and green LEDs on your Kohler Inverter stay on for more than 24 hours, it could be due to several reasons. First, onboard DC systems might be drawing between 1.5 and 5 amps; in this case, turn off all DC equipment while charging. Second, one or more cells could be damaged; you should load test the battery and replace it if necessary. Lastly, there might be extremely low AC voltage at the battery charger; try applying a higher AC voltage source or reducing the length of the extension cord.
What causes Kohler Portable Generator to overheat?
If your Kohler Portable Generator is overheating, it could be due to: * Inadequate cooling. Inspect the cooling system for air intake obstructions. * Incorrect fuel mixture adjustment. Readjust the fuel mixture. Note: Adjusting the fuel mixture may void the emission certification.
What to do if Kohler 12RES cranks but does not start?
If your Kohler Portable Generator cranks but doesn't start, here are a few things you can check: * Ensure the manual fuel valve is open and that there is fuel in the supply tank (if using LP). * Check the fuel pressure to the generator set, ensuring it's adequate for the generator and any other gas appliances. * Examine the fuel regulator/valve operation. * Inspect spark plug wires and connections; replace or clean and regap the spark plugs. * Look for loose or open connections at the fuel valve (lead 70A) and the engine spark control module (leads IGN and 70A). Also, verify the controller/engine wiring continuity.
