Our Kohler quit us on the way to Vegas a few years ago. We ended up having to drive down to Phoenix from 2 am to 8 am to avoid the daytime heat with no generator running no AC. Lofton Equipment, the Kohler dealer in Phoenix was great! They had to replace a worn slip ring and brushes. Still wouldn't make power. They changed control boards twice to no avail. Finally around 6 pm the tech found that a spade connector was broken. It had been taped over so it was not visible. Fixed it and we had power! Around a year later had trouble again. I tried to diagnose it but quickly got stumped. Drove back to Lofton in Phoenix. The tech found a bad diode in a wire. I thought it was just a connector. Was thrilled that parts bill was under $10. My point being that sometimes the pros are not a bad way to go on some stuff. Can be a lot faster and cheaper than blindly taking stabs in the dark at stuff.
