Mark,
I'll agree that electronic devices don't like voltage spikes. I was in Florida when neighbors tree fell on power line. A voltage spike took out one garage door opener brains, the electronic brains to my gen-air range.
I've heard that some electronic controls on furnaces won't on a generator.
My 3500 w champion has yet to damage my 3 year old refrigerator with electronic controls.
I wondering if your generator rally caused your damage or was it like mine, a voltage spike created by your power outage. After my damage, I paid Duke to install a large spike protector behind the meter. It wasn't cheap. My two brain boxes weren't cheap either.
After that, I have surge protectors on all electronic devices I have, computers, garage openers, micro wave, TV, dishwasher.
I have the largest surge protector I could find on my dishwasher, located under the sink. It saved my dishwasher then I had issues with power line. Had to replace it, nothing left of it.
Never thought of it, but might be a good idea to put a surge protector on generator to remove spikes.
