You have to have a direct short somewhere.

Have you been moving the generator around and maybe dropped it.

Look at this link, it will tell you how to open the generator.

Look inside and see if a wire is off or not seated good.

There are 25 screws on the back of your box.

Take those off and see if one of the 3 wires at bottom have come loose.

Glad for you Bavind.

Gives you a chance to figure out the problem and still get the bacon done.
