Source-linkedVerify source — Reddit post

Reddit post by u/67Media (r/Generator). Kohler 14RCA purchased fall 2024 showed AC Sensor Loss at ~98 hours in Feb 2025 while still under the 1000-hour warranty. Installer tech cleaned dirty rings and billed $287 travel/labor; Kohler treated it as non-covered maintenance rather than warranty, leaving the owner without coverage for the error-code call.
