Common Generator Problems We Fix

Even the most reliable Generac units require occasional repairs. Because they sit outside in the Missouri humidity and cold, they are subject to environmental wear. Here are the most common issues we encounter in Hermann:

circle battery_alert

Battery Failure (The #1 Culprit)

The most frequent reason a generator fails to start is a dead or weak battery. Generator batteries typically last 2–3 years. If the battery charger in the unit fails, or if the battery is simply aged, the unit won't have the "juice" to crank the engine during an outage.

circle water_drop

Leaks (Oil, Fuel, or Coolant)

Like a car, your generator relies on fluids. We frequently fix oil leaks from gaskets or fuel line leaks in propane systems. If your unit is leaking coolant, it may trigger a "High Temp" shutdown.

circle error

"No Start" Error Codes

Generac units have a digital controller that displays error codes. Whether it's "Overcrank," "Low Oil Pressure," or "RPM Sensor Loss," we have the diagnostic tools to find the root cause and get the unit back in "Ready" mode.

circle pest_control

Pest Damage

Believe it or not, mice and wasps love the inside of a generator cabinet. Mice can chew through wiring harnesses, causing shorts that are difficult to find. We inspect for and repair pest-related damage as part of our repair service.

Preventive Care

The Importance of Regular Maintenance

The best way to avoid a costly repair is through an annual maintenance plan. At Kallmeyer Services LLC, we recommend a "Full Service" visit at least once a year for our Hermann customers.

Regular maintenance keeps your generator ready when you need it most and extends its lifespan significantly.

  • electric_bolt Spark Plug Replacement - Ensures a clean ignition

Frequently Asked Questions: Generator Repair

A yellow light usually means the unit is due for maintenance (like an oil change) but is still functional. A red light, however, means the unit is "Faulted" and will NOT start during an outage. Call us if you see a red light.

This is often caused by a "Low Oil" sensor or a "High Temperature" sensor. It could also be a sign of a clogged fuel filter or a failing fuel regulator.

Generac recommends changing the oil every 100 hours of run time or at least once a year—whichever comes first. After a long multi-day outage, you should always have the oil changed.

While we specialize in Generac (since it's the local favorite), we can perform general electrical and mechanical repairs on most major brands like Kohler and Briggs & Stratton.

Loud mechanical noises can indicate an issue with the starter motor or internal engine components. Shut the unit off immediately and call us at 573-680-1441 to prevent further damage.

This means the generator tried to start several times but failed to "catch." This is usually due to a fuel delivery issue, a dead spark plug, or a weak battery.

No. Your generator should always be in "Auto" mode. In "Off" mode, the battery may not stay charged, and the unit will not exercise or start during an outage.

Yes. A nearby strike can fry the control board or the Automatic Transfer Switch. If your generator won't turn on after a storm, a surge is the likely culprit.

This is often the smell of a "cooking" battery. If the charger malfunctions and overcharges the battery, it can release sulfuric gas. This is a fire hazard—call us immediately.

With proper maintenance and timely repairs, a Generac standby generator can last 25 to 30 years.

We carry a wide range of common Generac parts (filters, spark plugs, controllers, and batteries) on our trucks to get your power back on as quickly as possible.

Yes. If it missed its exercise, it likely has an internal fault. It's better to find out now than during a real power outage.

Yes, extremely cold Hermann winters can thicken oil and weaken batteries. If your unit struggles in winter, we can install a "Cold Weather Kit."

Yes. If your generator is running but your home has no power, the transfer switch has likely failed to "throw." We can repair or replace the internal contactors.

You can often clear a code by hitting "Off," then "Enter," then "Auto." However, if you don't fix the underlying problem, the code will just come back.
