Hi,
Just because it clicks does not mean it doesn't have burned contacts on the generator side. I dislike transfer switches.rgatijnet1 wrote:
Before I would take the cover off of the transfer switch, I would plug in to shore power again and see if it clicks. If it clicks, the transfer switch is OK.
There is no need to do that again with the generator running.
If the transfer switch does not click when you start the generator, check the circuit breaker on the generator itself. These may be difficult to find on some generators but it should be on the front side. Try resetting the circuit breaker and see if that fixes your problem. If not, it may be time to contact someone to service your generator.
If the power is transferring on shore power when it clicks, then the power will transfer on generator, if the generator has output. It is the same contacts on the output.
