      Mary GillAug 26, 2025
      If there's no power at the AC receptacles of your Westinghouse Portable Generator, it could be due to: * The OUTPUT READY LED being OFF and the OVERLOAD LED being ON, so check the AC load and restart the engine. * The AC circuit breaker/s being tripped, so check the AC loads and reset the circuit breaker/s. * A faulty power tool or appliance, so replace or repair the tool or appliance, then stop and restart the engine.

    Why won't my Westinghouse Portable Generator start?
    • C
      Cindy HancockNov 6, 2025
      Your Westinghouse Portable Generator might not start due to several reasons: * It may be out of fuel, so refuel it. * The gasoline may be stale, or the generator was stored without treating or draining the gasoline, or it was refueled with bad gasoline, so drain the gasoline tank and refuel with fresh gasoline. * The air filter may be dirty, so clean it. * The low engine oil level may have stopped the generator, so if the LOW OIL LED is illuminated, turn the engine/fuel control switch to the OFF position and add engine oil. * The spark plug may be wet with fuel (flooded engine), so wait five minutes, turn the engine/fuel control switch to the OFF position, and pull the recoil handle rapidly several times; if the generator still does not start, remove the spark plug and dry it. *...
