Why does my Westinghouse Portable Generator start then shut down?
If your Westinghouse Portable Generator starts and then shuts down, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if you are out of fuel and refuel if necessary. Also, check the engine oil level and ensure it is correct. A dirty air filter can also cause this issue, so clean it. If the fuel is contaminated, drain the fuel tank and refuel with fresh gasoline.
Why does my Westinghouse iGen4500 Portable Generator engine lack power?
If your Westinghouse Portable Generator engine lacks power, it could be due to a restricted air filter. Clean or replace the air filter. Another cause could be bad fuel; if the generator was stored without treating or draining gasoline, or refueled with bad gasoline, drain the fuel tank and refuel with fresh gasoline.
What to do if my Westinghouse iGen4500 runs rough when load applied?
If the engine of your Westinghouse Portable Generator runs rough or bogs when a load is applied, it could be due to a dirty air filter, so you should clean it. The generator might also be overloaded, so unplug some devices. A faulty power tool or appliance could also be the cause; try replacing or repairing the tool or appliance, then stop and restart the engine.
Why won't my Westinghouse Inverter engine start?
If your Westinghouse Inverter engine won't start or stay running, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the inverter has enough gasoline by adding more fuel. Then, inspect and clear any obstructions in the fuel delivery passages. Also, check and clean the air filter. Verify the oil level and add oil if needed. Make sure the spark plug boot is firmly connected to the spark plug tip. Inspect the spark plug itself and replace if it's faulty. Additionally, check and clean the spark arrestor. Finally, drain any stale fuel and replace it with fresh fuel.
What to do if my Westinghouse iGen4500 Portable Generator has no power at AC receptacles?
If there is no power at the AC receptacles of your Westinghouse Portable Generator, several issues could be the cause. If the OUTPUT READY LED is OFF and the OVERLOAD LED is ON, check the AC load and the air inlet, then stop and restart the engine. Another possibility is that the AC circuit breaker(s) have tripped, so check the AC loads and reset the circuit breaker(s). Also, a faulty power tool or appliance can cause this issue, so replace or repair the tool or appliance, then stop and restart the engine.
What to do if my Westinghouse Inverter suddenly stops?
If your Westinghouse Inverter suddenly stops running, first check the fuel level and add fuel if necessary. Also, check the oil level and add oil if needed, as the low oil shut down switch may have stopped the engine. If those aren't the issue, try restarting the inverter and reducing the load, as too much load can cause it to shut down.
How to troubleshoot no electrical output on Westinghouse Inverter?
If your Westinghouse Inverter's engine is running but there's no electrical output, start by resetting the reset breaker. Then, check that the power cord’s plug connector is fully engaged in the inverter’s outlet. If the issue persists, replace the power cord, as it could be faulty. As a final step, test the inverter by connecting a known good appliance to verify it is producing electrical power; the original appliance may be defective.
Why does my Westinghouse Inverter engine run erratically?
If your Westinghouse Inverter engine runs erratically and doesn't hold a steady RPM, start by cleaning the air filter. Also, note that changes in engine speed may occur as applied loads cycle, and this is a normal condition. If the problem persists, take the inverter to your nearest authorized service dealer.
