You aren't going to believe this, my neighbor just returned from an offshore rig in Libya, and he came over, and grounded the generator. I had not done that.

Washing machine works great. The...

Good, that gives me some comfort. I will call the mfr and see what I can do.

12 gauge. As an aside, I actually did try it with the twenty amp cord today, and the washing machine shuts down completely when it gets to the spin cycle. I think that's it, if I haven't already...

Pulley turns, it will spin on the low setting, I figured that out last night. But on low setting, the dryer takes forever to get the moisture out of the clothes. So only a few go through at a time,...

Okay, that is reasonable enough. What if I had a 20 Amp cord to the generator? The generator can pull twenty amps, if nothing else is plugged in... I got hold of a cord and I might try it...

Hello - I'm in Houston, and I haven't had power for a week courtesy of Ike. I have a 5500 kW generator, which is running everything we need beautifully, except the washing machine. The washing...
