[Cecelia Seiner]

Abroken Kohler generator can bring a standstill to your activities, especially those that require a constant power supply. A Kohler generator troubleshooting may be the answer to a generator that constantly breaks down, causing inconveniences.

Since Kohler manufactures different generators, such as gas-run and diesel-run generators, you need to ensure that you have the right Kohler generator troubleshooting manual to take you through the process. Here are the simple steps you can follow:

One cause of your generator stopping could be low oil levels. To check the oil level, you need to use a clean dipstick to check the levels. Remove your dipstick from your generator engine, clean it and dip it again to get a clear new reading.

When troubleshooting a Kohler generator, you have to check the spark plugs and remove the rubber plugs. You may have to replace them altogether. Ensure that you maintain a gap from underneath when replacing, as recommended by the Kohler generator troubleshooting manual.

Solenoids can get damaged from cycling fast, grime build-up, and intense heat. It can cause the ATS to fail; thus, you need to ensure that they are good, and if they are damaged, replace them immediately.

The Kohler generator troubleshooting process starts with finding out what the problem is. Since the engine is the generator's heart, restoring it helps you trace and fix a problem. Restart it, and if it still doesn't crank or cranks a little then dies, then it could be a power issue.

If the automatic transfer switch is damaged, the generator won't start when it is supposed to. Therefore if your Kohler generator won't start, it might not be the engine or the oil. You have to do a little Kohler automatic transfer switch troubleshooting. Here is how:

During sudden power surges, the circuit breakers trip out of place; therefore, before concluding that there is a problem with the ATS, ensure that the tripped circuit breakers are in the right position. If that doesn't work, go to step two.

When a controller is damaged, it won't signal the generator to start an outage or stop when the power is back. As a Kohler generator troubleshooting measure, ensure that the controllers are in great shape and either replace or repair them.
