Why won't my Westinghouse Portable Generator start?
- J
  John WeberAug 21, 2025
  There are several reasons why your Westinghouse Portable Generator might not start. It could be due to the battery switch being in the OFF position (turn it to ON), running out of fuel (refuel), bad fuel (drain and refuel with fresh gasoline), a dirty air filter (clean it), low engine oil level (add oil after turning the battery switch OFF), a wet spark plug (wait five minutes, turn the battery switch OFF, and pull the recoil handle rapidly, remove and dry spark plug if needed), a faulty spark plug (gap or replace it), or a drained battery (use the recoil handle to start). Also check the choke, manually set the choke if it is partially open or closed due to weak or disconnected battery.

  Joseph SchmidtAug 31, 2025
  To fix poor performance or engine stalling on propane in your Westinghouse Portable Generator: * Inspect the propane fuel line for kinks or obstructions and remove them. * Ensure the fuel selector valve is properly positioned, aligning the pointer directly with the desired fuel. * Purge gasoline from the carburetor before switching to propane by closing the propane fuel tank valve, moving the fuel selector switch to gas, starting the engine, and allowing it to run until the gasoline is consumed. Then, begin the propane start-up procedure.

Why is there frost on the propane tank of my Westinghouse WGen9500DF?
- D
  Dale NelsonSep 4, 2025
  Frost on the propane tank or regulator of your Westinghouse Portable Generator can occur if the tank temperature drops below the dew point, especially in humid conditions. If the propane fuel handling equipment is functioning normally, no correction is needed. If you suspect your propane fuel tank is not equipped with an Over filling Prevention Device (OPD), discontinue operation immediately and replace the propane fuel tank with a propane tank equipped with an OPD. If you suspect your propane fuel tank has been overfilled, discontinue operation immediately and return the propane fuel tank to the place of purchase or refilling.
