My generator ran last night but shut down before power was restored. I looked at the generator this morning and seen there was a UF alarm. This generator is less than a year old and there was hardly any load on it last night. Should I contact a repair man or wait to see if it happens again?

Sounds like a fuel issue.
Check that you have fuel left in the tank can evaporate.
Also that the filter is getting fuel by looking that there is fuel in it.
And make shore also that you are using the correct fuel if it is a 2 stroke it need 2 stroke oil added to the petrol.
Is it Unleaded petrol or Diesel is also something to check you have used the correct one.
Sounds silly but easy errors.
I did it to a diesel car put unleaded just about to start it when I realised. If I started the car It would have lasted 5 minutes and cost $10.000.00 AUD + to repair.
Got it towed and the fuel drained total cost $150.00 AUD

You have to reset it because it locked out on on under frequency. Just pullout the fuse on the control panel and then reinstall it a couple of seconds later. Now it will reset the fault codes. Hope that helps.

If the door is not locking properly there is a chance that the door lock switch is not being closed. This will shut off power to many of the circuits, including power to the water fill solenoid, etc. Latch mechanisms are available separately.

I cannot switch on my laptop. it was working fine last night, but in the morning, my laptop refused to get switched on. nothing happens even if I press the on button, no blinking of anything, no booting,...

You might try to remove and reseat the battery. Jiggle the plug for your charger just to make sure that it can deliver charge to your computer.

You may be needing a new battery for your laptop, especially if the laptop seemed to require more frequent charging.

Look for guidance on your manufacturer's web site about care and charging of your laptop's battery.
