If the generator shuts down ok by *removing* the 10 amp fuse that normally

the power to something .... same as removing the fuse.

I have an Onan diesel generator that works pretty much as you
describe. There is a solenoid which must be activated for the
generator to start and continue running. If an over temp or low oil
pressure sensor trips, power to the solenoid is interuppted and the
generator stops. It will not restart until a reset button is pressed.
When you press the stop button, a relay is activated which interrupts
power to the solenoid. My guess would be a short circuit or defective
shut down relay.

My Maytag washer and drier have the wiring diagrams pasted to the
inside of the removable sheet metal access panels. Maytag is no more,
unfortunately.

Whirlpool still use the Mmaytag name but the appliances aren't what they
used to be... re massive recall last year.

Maytag is still very much in business. Check http://www.maytag.com
In addition they own many other brands such as Whirlpool, Amana, etc.

eerrr...i think you have that backwards...Whirlpool bought Maytag.
I know this because I was one of those affected by the inner door/control
panel fiasco last year. Finally got a new dishwasher out of it.

The input fuse is the fuse which protects the whole control
panel...I've determined that from the schematic which was as a
previous poster suggested. The stop sequence activates a number of
relays any one of which could be shorting & blowing the fuse. The
engine is killed from a "fuel solenoid", which I believe connects to
the Carbeuretor and may choke the engine. I found a kohler parts
schematic and it looks like I'll need to replace the whole panel...the
relays are not removable. Thanks for all the help!

This may not be related. However, I have a 20kw Kohler that kept blowing
fuses for no reason. I found out the improper fuse was installed. A 10
amp high heat ceramic fuse should have been used. The heat given off
from the generator engine would heat up the fuse, and de-rate it. A
ceramic fuse is designed to operate in high ambient temperatures.

I hope this helps.
