Let’s get your pressure washer up and running again. First up, we need figure out what’s wrong. Not sure where to start? No worries, below are some usual suspects and what might be causing the trouble. Keep in mind, your washer might have its own quirks, so we might need to dig a little deeper for those.
| Problem | Possible causes |
| engine won’t run or idle properly | clogged carburetor, faulty spark plug, low oil level, no gas/bad gas, or other engine problems |
| water pressure is low or pulsing | water turned off to pump, clogged nozzle, pump check valves stuck open, clogged wand, hose, or inlet filter, a worn-out pump, a faulty unloader valve, or air in the system |
| water is leaking from the pump or the wand | damaged or worn-out seal, o-ring, valve, or hose |
| pump is making strange noises or no water is flowing | broken or loose belt, a damaged crankshaft, a seized piston, or a lack of water supply |
| soap is not dispensing from the reservoir | cracked soap hose, clogged soap nozzle, a faulty soap injector, or a low water pressure |
