Fischer Panda 3.8 Generator Not Producing Voltage

[GulfportBarb]

Our 2006 3.8kW genset starts up but is not producing voltage to the panel. It was working fine and now no AC power. Trying to get a service call, but was told it will be a while. Any tips on things I can check? Oil, coolant are good. We just serviced the cooling system a month ago. We have a 2006 Jeanneau SO 37. Thanks!

we have a different gennie (mase IS 5.0) which stopped out-putting AC a while ago. turned out that a 20mF capacitor in the system had failed - cost abt 50 cents

of course to find this there was a $200 labour cost as well...

try replacing the capacitor in yours : easy & cheap, but no guarantee...

cheers,

3.8?! Not 4.2kw?

Either way, the panda generators all have a remote mounted control box for the generator. Within it are a bunch of capacitors.

I’ll wager one of these has gone bad.
