How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the generator and disconnect the battery before opening the control panel.

  • Check panel fuse: Locate and test the low‑voltage fuse feeding the display. Replace if blown.
  • Inspect connectors: Reseat the ribbon cable and connectors between the display and main control board.
  • Measure panel voltage: Verify that the control board supplies the correct DC voltage to the display connector. If absent, the board may be faulty.
  • Replace display module: If power is present but the screen remains blank or garbled, replace the DuroStar display/control panel assembly.
