<p>Lou,</p>
<p>This was a not-uncommon issue that would occasionally arise with
specific washers and the SW series. It often came up with Y2K
installations. It has nothing to do with voltage <i>per se</i>,
and the inverter is working as it should. The SW is true
modified-sinewave (with something like 28-42 waveform steps per
half-wave). The problem is that the electronic controls in the
washer aren't compatible with the waveform. In short, three
options:</p>
<p>1- Sometimes a large electrolytic capacitor across the inverter
ac output terminals will work. I have seen it work but not always.</p>
<p>2- Try a different brand of washer.</p>
<p>3. Upgrade the inverter to a sinewave unit.</p>

<div>I have a client with a old Trace 4024 on a APT center.
Everything has worked great for over 20 years. He purchased a
new washing machine from Sears that does not want to work. The
voltage at the outlet is 117 vac and the Sears guy says that
is the issue. When the system is running on the genset
(Northern Light 6kW Diesel) we get 121 vac and the washer runs
fine. That seems like a very tight voltage window and a issue
with the washer not the system. I have seen sensitive
electronics go wacky with no N-G bound maybe that is the
issue? I did not install the system so I would have go poke
around. Any one out there have any ideas?</div>
