Dave,
The problem may not be with the generator or the inverter function of
the Outback inverter, but rather with the charger section of the Outback
which is activated whenever there is generator input.
I had a similar experience with an off-grid customer in Springfield VT.
He has a traditional FX or VFX set-up that ran fine for years. Then he
changed-out his LP cooking range to one with electronic brains and added
UPS units to his computer. Running with normal inverter power was fine,
but if the generator was turned on, the cook-top display went haywire
and the UPS units stopped working. Suspicion was immediately directed
to the generator, but if the system was placed in bypass, everything
worked fine with the generator power...even with a cheap portable
generator hooked-up temporarily .
Conclusion was that the Outback charger must be introducing some
unwanted electronic noise. The customer decided to live with it rather
than try to fix it. My recommendation would be some L-C line filtering
tuned to 60 Hz to reduce electronic noise. Try your system in bypass.

Wrenches,
I need to replace a front load washer in my off grid rental house.
Looking at LG's and I'm wondering if any of you have experience with
them running on OutBack inverter power.
The Maytag washer I'm replacing ran fine on inverter power but would
not operate on Generac Eco-Gen power.

Hi David
I?ve never had an issue with any electronic washer with an Outback,
that?s the best I can say.

Ditto. I've been running many different brands of front loading washers
for
multiple clients on OB Radian and VFX/GVFX & FXR as well as Magnum
MS4448PAE and still here at my own home on a pair of Trace SW5548's
since
2002. Zero issues.

We?ve had an LG front loader for years. Kathleen wrote it up in HP
(rip). It?s an ?Inverter-Direct Drive? model, whatever that means.
Energy Star, of course. It runs on an OLD FX-2524 and has been flawless
(so far?). That sound you hear is me knocking on wood?.
