I have an electric greenworks 1700 psi pressure washer that starts then stops repeatedly how do ya fix it

Hi,

that selection must cause too much internal pressure for certain parts of your device to handle so the leak occur to ....let off a little pressure. Please work with Greenworks to find out whether you need to replace a part of your device to overcome the leak. Their number is 1-888-909-6757.

Thank you.

The owners manual was badly written by someone in China whose English is a second language. The output pressure is set at the factory. The only thing the consumer can do is change the spray pattern by changing the nozzle. 0 for pinpoint, 25 for small fan spray pattern, 40 for large fan spray pattern, and Soap for dispersal.

IF it was not subject to freezing weather, check the input connections on the pump and make sure that the washers are present on the hose connection.

In addition to the comment above regarding the need to use a low pressure (soap) tip, there's a chance the tanks or the hoses from the tanks to the valve and/or from the valve to the pump is plugged with dried detergent. The easiest way to clean out the hoses, unless you can see the plug with the detergent bottle removed, is to remove the top cover and pull all the hoses and flush them out. Removing the cover is not too bad. There are several recessed screws underneath, including a couple above the wheels that requires removing the wheels and axle.

If you are using an extension cord this will happen. If using an extension cord make sure it is a 12ga.If you are not using an extension cord then it could be a bad motor or low voltage from the source.

the whole washer :)

sorry but the ice can make large damage in stuff like that. Disasseble it and carefully open your eyes :) look for cracks... It may be a sealing, or a whole pump may be broken...

There should be a clip that holds it in place, see link.
