Gentrax generator. Starts easily but as soon as it startsup overload light comes on and shuts down. Nothing connected or plugged in. Worked perfectly the last time we used it 3months ago
Hi Jasner00, thank you for contacting us. We hope to resolve the matter. May we know what appliances or loads were connected before the overload lamp lit up and the unit eventually shut down?
The last time we used it was with some Led camping lights and an Engel fridge. Work perfectly no problems Went to start it this time with nothing connected at all and straight away the overload light comes on and the unit shuts down immediately
Have used the same set up with a Honda Generator with no problems so it’s not the fridge or led lights
Take issue up with supplier, obviously "electrical system" fault internal in windings.
Thank you for sharing the requested information, jasner00. With the current issue, we highly recommend contacting the seller of the gen-set for a warranty claim and coverage. By communicating with the seller of the unit directly, they will be given the chance to honour the warranty and provide support by all means available to resolve the overload issue of the gennie. Let us know how we can further assist. Stay Safe. Raven
The warranty has. just ran out. Will it still be covered?
Thank you, jasner00. We sent you a ProductReview DM to obtain more information about the transaction. Looking forward to your update. Stay Safe.
recently purchased gentrex 2000 wait generator and have oil leaking from the oil filler cap have it quit tight but still leaks any clues
Just check that you have not "cross-threaded the "cap". I think its a "plastic Cap" and can be easily cross-threaded. If so, unscrew same inspect thread in good light for damage to thread, if not bad use small file straighten thread. Further can use "O" ring correct size as washer too make seal. BEEN VERY CAREFUL SCREWING IN AND DON'T OVERTIGHTEN. If have problems and have "local MOWER SHOP" may be able to assist with issue.
thank u will try
