Our generator is running, the convertor is working but the generator is not generating power. Any ideas as to what we should be checking?

There's a breaker on the generator itself. Mine is on the front panel by the hour meter and oil and coolant dip sticks. Mine got tripped when I washed it and did the same thing. Just click it back on.

If moisture gets on control board that may trip it.
Spray some contact cleaner on it to clean.
