#1: The electrical components of your generator are damaged or not working

Take a look at the wires, buttons and other electrical components of your generator and check if there is any sign of damage like loose connectors, frayed wires or anything unusual.

If you could not find any sort of damage in the electrical components then the next issue that you need to check out is a leak. Consider the age of your system here. The older it gets, it becomes more likely to have a leaking hose, storage pan or line. Check if there is oil leakage, coolant leakage or in case you have a gas-powered generator, then check for fuel leakage. If you notice any leakage around or under the generator then you need to schedule generator repair services as soon as possible.
