I have the IWB6103 Indesit washing machine. The problem is it will not run when the generator is running. The generator is 27Kva and it can run the whole house but when we try to use the washing machine all the lights go on (error). When the mains power comes back it works fine. Any ideas?
I would avoid using the washer. You could burn the control panel or something else. The electronic is very sensitive. It's possible that your Hz from generator are not 60Hz, or your voltage is fluctuating, another possibility is that the wiring is reversed (hot and neutral switched).
Btw, is this washer a 220v ? If so, check the voltage of the wall outlet when generator on. If its 220 there is a possibility that only 110 v is feeding.Btw, is this washer a 220v ?

Also it is a 3 phase generator so neutral live switching is not possible.
