Aloha All,

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?
