Why won't my Westinghouse Portable Generator start?
- T
  Tyler RobertsAug 12, 2025
  If your Westinghouse Portable Generator isn't starting, several factors could be at play. It might be out of fuel, so refuel it. The fuel could be bad, especially if the generator was stored without proper treatment; in this case, drain the tank and add fresh gasoline. A dirty air filter could also be the culprit, so try cleaning it. Check the engine oil level and add oil if it's low. If the spark plug is wet, wait five minutes, turn the Run/Stop switch to OFF, and pull the recoil handle several times; if it still doesn't start, remove and dry the spark plug. Also, inspect the spark plug to ensure it is properly gapped and not faulty. Fully open or close the choke.

What to do if Westinghouse WGen3600DFc Portable Generator stalls on propane?
- C
  Curtis AndersonAug 27, 2025
  If your Westinghouse Portable Generator experiences poor performance or stalls on propane, check the propane fuel line for kinks or obstructions and remove them. Ensure the fuel selector valve is properly positioned, rotating it fully until the pointer aligns with the desired fuel. If gasoline wasn't purged from the carburetor before switching to propane, close the propane tank valve, move the fuel selector switch to gas, start the engine, and let it run until the gasoline is consumed; then, begin the propane startup procedure.

  If your Westinghouse Portable Generator starts but then shuts down, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if it's out of fuel and refuel if necessary. Also, verify the engine oil level.

Why does my Westinghouse WGen3600DFc Portable Generator smell like propane?
- D
  Donald DavisSep 4, 2025
  If you smell propane fuel with your Westinghouse Portable Generator, check that the fuel regulator, hose, and fittings are securely sealed, using a soap solution to check each connection and tightening as needed. The propane fuel regulator has a vent that allows a small amount of propane fuel vapor to escape when the tank valve is opened, which is normal if brief. Also, residual fuel from the carburetor dispersing after operation is normal and requires no correction.

Why is there frost on the propane tank of my Westinghouse Portable Generator?
- A
  Alexandra ChavezSep 7, 2025
  If there's frost on the propane tank or regulator of your Westinghouse Portable Generator, and the temperature of the propane tank drops below the dew point, condensation may turn to frost or ice, especially in humid conditions. If all propane fuel handling equipment is functioning normally, no correction is needed.
