Generator overload light is on and ready light blinks at intrevals of 4 times

Read the instruction manual. If you are certain you did everything right and the generator does not behave as intended then return it to the supplier as faulty.

what model is it KY KV need that and Spec. If it blinks 3 times it indicates a lower service fault. While blinking hit the stop button 3 times fast, then read the code. It will blink, pause then blink again and repeat. What is that code and I can help you. IE 4 blinks pause and 3 indicates code 43

check that the over load switch is not seized of course then replace

The toggle switch automatically resets all faults when it is turned to the off position. I would turn the toggle switch off, turn off the breaker on the generator and then turn off all the loads in the house except a few lights. Turn the generator breaker back on, then turn the toggle switch back to automatic. If it starts and stays running, you were overloading the generator. Turn on other loads slowly and keep track of what is on so you don't overload it again. If it still does not stay on, you may have a problem with the panel. Let me know what happens.

A water heater is approx 4.5 KW too much for that generator, you pretty much asnwered your own quastion it is overloaded. Not to mention a water heater is resistive, not inductive thefore it is harder and you won't get a full3.2KW out your generator

Hi and welcome to FixYa I am Kelly. Your red LED is telling you that it was 1. overloaded. 2. has low voltage 3. overheated or 4. short in the powered circuit.

OVERLOAD LED (red): Lights up if the generator experiences
a load greater than the rated output, low voltage, overheats or
the powered circuit experiences a short. The output is stopped
even though the engine keeps running.

I do not know which of the 4 conditions caused your red light. If you have the read light with no load I would suspect low voltage from the generator / inverter. If it overheated you will also get the Red LED with no load.

Thanks for choosing FixYa.

You may be UNDERLOADING the generator and it may be unstable with such a light load... see if it might behave running a heavier load... put a 100 watt light on it as a test,

sounds like a voltage regulation problem with the generator

Check the Ground Fault Indicator circuit breaker for triping, and look for the high limit on generator. Reset the main breaker by triping it full right and then back. Vitally
