Won't turn on

It won't turn on. It worked when I used it last fall. I checked the extension cords, the outlet, tried both the blower and the vac sections, ensuring the parts were snapped in correctly because I know that's part of the safety feature, still no-go. Any suggestions?

Some of these have a reset button in a tiny hole in the bottom rear of the unit. Try pressing the reset with a hair pin or a paper clip. then try turning it on again. Hope it works for you.

SOURCE: Toro Blower..No power. Like a blown fuse. Does it have a fuse?

I have the Toro 51591 model. Yesterday, mine did the same as yours. I opened up the case and found that a small cylinder had broken off of the switch. So it could be that your switch is the problem. I have been unable so far to find a replacement anywhere.
You should consider using your warranty.

Testimonial: "Thanks. I checked the manual first though and read that the impeller cover if not properly closed will not allow it to turn on. That worked. Thanks"

SOURCE: when we started using toro

You must use at least a 12 guage extention cord . Your current cord mostlikely can not handle those amount of amps for long duration of time.

SOURCE: I have an lectric Homelite blower/vac. It worked

I could be a variety of things. Did you have a very long cord on it? did the cord loosen the plug? are you sure the outlet is still good, Also you may need to wait a few hours for a thermal reset to reset.

Kracher power washer won't turn on

Sure that the outlet you are using is powered? Is power reaching the motor? - I had my power switch on my karcher break internally rendering machine dead. If power is reaching the motor for sure and it does not run then there has to be an open motor winding. If pump jammed you would hear a humming noise from motor and the breaker would pop.

Why is the electrical wire so short

Don't add an extention cord to an extention cord! Buy a 100' 14/4 extension cord and tie the end to the fence so it won't come un plugged.
If the plug keeps popping out of the short cord at the blower,wrap the cord around the handle to prevent disconnection.

Wall light switch timer inline with Extension cord GE 15313

Black to black (hot), Green to green (ground) and the only one left is of course white to blue. The (neutral) white wire can be many different flavors (blue, red, orange, brown, etc.).

If the outlet your plugging into (or controlled by the service panel breaker) is 15 Amps use a minimum of 14 gage wire (or 12 gage is even better), if its a 20 Amp outlet use 12 gage wires (or 10 gage). Don't use a 16 or 18 gage wire because it may get hot and start a fire because its undersize for the Amps.

I turn on compressor starts working but it turns back of agian

If the motor circuit breaker is popping off as you state, it's either bad or the power supply is inadequate. It's not all that rare for the circuit breakers on electric motors to go bad. When they go bad they either won't reset or pop off at lower and lower amperages. Another cause could be that the motor is essentially trying to pull too much electricity through a line that can't handle it. This would be caused by using too many, to long or too small guage extension cords. Always plug the compressor into an outlet and run longer air lines than use extension cords. On some occasions if you are too far from the breaker box and the lines to the outlet are low guage you can get the same affect.

** TV won't turn on.** No picture or sound. Please Help !

If the red light won't come on it is not getting power.First,try plugging it in to a different outlet,or unplug one of the gadgets you know is working and plug the tv in there.You are simply switching.If you know that there is power coming from the outlet and it still won't come on then you'll have to check the cord;don't go much farther than that without expert help.

I have an lectric Homelite blower/vac. It worked well for 1/2 hour. I turned it off and when I wanted to turn it back on, it started but stopped within a minute. I tried three different extension cords...

I could be a variety of things. Did you have a very long cord on it? did the cord loosen the plug? are you sure the outlet is still good, Also you may need to wait a few hours for a thermal reset to reset.
