Washer troubles [RE-wrenches]

[John Blittersdorf, Cent. VT Solar & Wind]

We have a Roper Washer  (Cheap)  which works fine most of the time on our 
SW4024 but we have had problems with it completing the spin cycle if the 
genny goes on or off.  We either keep the genny running or leave it off and 
generally it works fine.  We still hesitate to leave the washer running when 
we leave as we have come back to a dark house on one occasion ( low voltage 
cutoff) when the washer apparently spun for over 6 hours while we were away.  
On low batteries, that is not a good idea.  We did save some fuel though by 
not having our generator on auto at that time.  The clothes were really dry, 
though.

I have also noticed when our hot air furnace blower is running (yes, we still 
use that guzzling appliance) and the genny shuts off,  the blower really 
growls as the frequency shifts from the genny to the inverter clock.  In the 
other direction, no problem as the inverter synchronizes quite smoothly.
