Fuse Problem: Error Code 2400

Environment

This article applies to code 2400, Fuse problem, for Generac air-cooled home standby generators.

• Note: The term "error code" is used interchangeably with 'alarm code,' 'fault code,' 'fault alarm' and similar terminology. Error code applies to all such terminology. 
  
  

Overview

Error code: 2400

Fault: Fuse Problem

Issue: The 7.5 amp controller fuse is missing or blown.

Potential Causes: Improperly placed or blown fuse, or a problem with the generator battery or battery cables


Resolution

The fuse is located on the generator control panel (A), underneath a rubber flap (B).

Check to confirm if the fuse is properly in place and inspect if it has been blown. 

• If the fuse is blown, it will need to be replaced. Replacement 7.5-amp fuses can be found at most hardware and auto parts stores.
• If the fuse has been verified to be in good condition, check to confirm if the fuse is pushed all the way in and is properly in place.
• If the fuse is in good condition and in place, check the battery and battery cables: How Do I Inspect the Battery On My Home Standby Generator?
• If this error code persists after replacing the fuse and the battery, a service visit from a local dealer may be required so that a trained professional can test the starter circuit for continuity to uncover why the fuse is consistently blowing.
