Answer 1

Try use IN operator:

SELECT * from assetprofile WHERE description1 IN ('(1) GENSET\FOR ATM')

Answer 2

The sample data does not have a space between the parentheses and GET, but your query does.

Answer 3

Try to escape the string using QUOTE function:

SELECT * FROM assetprofile WHERE description1 = QUOTE('(1) GENSET\FOR ATM');
