Many generator problems look alike from the outside. A generator that will not start could have a dead battery, bad fuel, a blocked filter or a failed sensor, and replacing parts without a diagnosis gets expensive. Diagnostics is the step that finds the real cause first.

A proper diagnosis usually checks:

  • Battery condition and the starting circuit
  • Fuel supply, fuel quality and the fuel filter
  • Air filter, spark plugs and oil level
  • Control board codes and safety shutdowns
  • Engine performance under load
  • Output voltage and the transfer switch

The result is a clear explanation of what failed and what it would take to fix it, so you can decide before work begins. Call and describe the symptoms.

Generator Troubleshooting And Diagnostics FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Generator Troubleshooting and Diagnostics

Questions we hear most often about Generator Troubleshooting and Diagnostics in Richview, IL.

Talk to a real person
Why won't my home generator start?
The most common causes are a weak or dead battery, stale fuel or a clogged fuel filter, a dirty air filter, a worn spark plug, low oil, or a control board fault. Check whether the generator shows an error code, and note whether it clicks, cranks or does nothing. Those details point to the cause.
What should I do if my generator fails during a power outage?
Do not run it indoors or in a garage, and do not refuel a hot generator. If you smell fuel or see smoke, shut it off if it is safe and move away. Otherwise note any error code and what it did, then call and describe the problem.
What does an automatic transfer switch do?
It moves your home from utility power to the generator when the power goes out, and back again when it returns. It also prevents the generator from feeding power back into the grid, which protects utility workers.
Can I run a generator in a garage or near the house?
No. Generators produce carbon monoxide, which can kill. Never run one indoors, in a garage or in a partly enclosed space. Keep it outside and well away from windows, doors and vents, and install carbon monoxide alarms in your home.
How do I get started?
Call (877) 884-0342, describe your generator and what it is doing, and ask about an estimate and availability for your area.
