How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate the generator and remove battery negative before panel work.

  • Inspect panel surface: Look for cracks, wear, or signs of moisture on the keypad area.
  • Test switches: From the rear of the panel, use a multimeter to check continuity of the start/stop switches when pressed.
  • Dry panel: If moisture is present, dry the panel thoroughly and improve enclosure sealing.

Non‑functional switches usually require replacement of the keypad or entire Einhell control panel.
