The first problem might be that you are trying to use the wrong nozzle, see this link to read more about what nozzle to use for detergents

If you still have an issue the problem is going to be in the chemical valve on the pump, there are two different styles they have on this type of machine, look at the links below on directions on how to repair your chemical valve.

Washer have a litter water come in

Hello Morris Daniels - Are the house valves fully turn on? Is the hose kinked or pinched? If not, then it sounds like you have an issue with the water pressure and possibly will need to replace the pressure switch. First try checking water pressure at another faucet in the house. Wait until water supply and pressure increase (water pressure for washer must be at a minimum of 30 psi). Straighten the water inlet hose if it is twisted or kinked. If any proves to be ineffective, contact a professional to move forward accurately.

Fresh water is slowly leaking into the washer inside. we can run the wash onthe drain cycle and empty it, but it continues to slowly fill up again. help.....

Possible that the waterlevel sensor pressure switch is not working and so unless it contacts the cycle will not proceed according to the program.
So remove and test the pressure switch with a suction or blowing to see the contacts clicking.
If the switch is OK the program controller can be faulty

Craftsman Pressure washer will not spray

your not missing anything, check the pump, they tend to go bad over time and may need replacing. The pump provides the pressure as well as the suction for the whole process, pulling water from the hose or tank and pushing it forcefully through the pressure washer line. If the motor is running and you have the water going through the line and to the pump, and no water is coming out, my guess would be the pump.

The motor works fine , no pressure out of hte hose, could it be the hose or pump, how do I trouble shoot. Also, how do I draw soap from a bottle to shoot out of the washer onto the house?

Since you did not mention the pump brand or type. I will just assume it to be a pressure washer, complete
with gun. The pump comes two suction hoses. One for the water supply and one for the soap bottle or pail There is pressure adjuster right at the pump near where the hose is connected. You can adjust to higher pressure by turning it clockwise. You can adjust the nozzle spray pattern by turning it. However, if your pump comes with only one set of suction hose. Then, it is designed to get the water
supply from the faucet with hose bib. The only one
set of hose is for the soap bottle or pail. It will **** the soap once the nozzle spray is opened.
