The repair tech said it's not that uncommon and a manual start will clear the fault. If we had lost power last week I'm not sure the generator would have started. Just something to be aware of.

We have Amazon Alexa remind us to listen for the generator test to come on on our designated time and day! This way we remember to make sure we hear it. Of course, we are home year round- not snowbirds.
