When 9500DF , Part 09503Rev01 start switch failed

Had this for about a year.. works great on either LP or Gas, always kept covered and run monthly .. BUT NOW... I just identified 2 failure issues.. 1) battery harness connection corrodes, stops voltage to start system, (should have grease from factory on connections? 2) push button start switch failed.. out of stock at GE? Hmmm one would think this part could have improved replacement part from manufacturer? online reviews state high failure item..? I have not found an alternate and now must jump start for LP fuel only.. .. Points to poor part selection for these items.. In my opinion.. I would not recommend a product you cant locate repair parts on 2 year old system.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love the ease of starting. For me as a 79 year old female, this works great for me. Could not afford a GenRac. Wonderful choice. The option for gasoline or propane is perfect.
Couldn’t believe it! After doing all the customer prep, oil, gas, and general switchology, it started on the first attempt! Ran it for 30 minutes powering my 16’ travel trailer AC. Quite pleased it’s adequate. Plus I’m comfortable with the reliability of the brand, unlike so many others.
