Cummins Power Generation RS36-480V Reviews & Ratings
10 year Review
By FarFar

Review Posted 01/03/2025
Bot this generator 10 years ago for whole house and barn standby power. Absolutely no issues at all until year 9 when a power relay stuck open preventing the cranking engine from starting (error code 359). To confirm if this is the failed part you can tap it with a small hammer and if the generator starts, that is the module that needs to be replaced. 8 months later had same issue, replaced module under warranty and works fine. Cummins told me this is the number one part failure for this model. Never saw this information on the web, only to check battery and fuel source. Cummins estimated $1,000 to repair, but did it myself for $158 thanks to a friend that works at Cummins. If I have a need for another generator I would purchase Kohler due to more service centers and much cheaper labor rates.
