Electric Pressure Washer FIXED
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 гру 2020
- My Greenworks Electric Pressure Washer stopped working even though it had power. The reset button wouldn’t work, so I tried something else. Hope this helps someone, good luck!
1. Make sure power button on unit is off. Allow water to flow through hose without a nozzle on wand, holding the trigger for about 30 seconds or until all air and pressure is released.
2. Mash reset button a bunch of times quickly until black box starts buzzing.
3. Once buzzing, press reset.
4. Green light should be on, then press test.
A successful test results in green light turning off. If it doesn’t, try steps 1-3 again.
5. Once test is successful, there is no light, at this point press reset and light should reappear.
6. Go to unit and let more water through wand, without tips.
7. Once all air is out of unit, add a tip (green or white or red) to wand. Hold the trigger letting water pass through.
8. While holding trigger, turn on the unit. If this doesn’t work, don’t give up. Go through the steps again. - Навчання та стиль
IT WORKED!!! someone in our neighborhood left a green Works 2200 PSI pressure washer on the curb without the pressure line. Borrowed my sons pressure hose from a different machine plugged it in and had the issue with the green light on the cord as you noted. Followed your instructions, turned the machine on and off a few times, pressed the button repeatedly over a period of 15 minutes or so of lyrical and error”. Just went on was about to give up and disassemble the machine to check connections. I noticed the green light on the cord was off as specified. Turned on the washer and SHAZAM!! it worked. Pressure washed bricks, driveway and sidewalks around my house for over an hour. It’s a $250 machine! Thank you so much for your posting. MADE MY DAY!😊
It WORKED! I was about to trash the pressure washer and buy a new one. You saved me some cash! Thank you!!!
Yes saved me also, I drained my hoses and it worked, I won't keep the hose connected after I use it any more, saved me a call to greenworks, big relief Indeed
I pushed reset about 50 times, no buzzing happened, but then I turned the washer on and it worked! It shouldn't work that way but it did. Thanks.
By golly this worked! I had to press reset over 100 times. Thought it wasn't going to ever buzz. But it did eventually. Thanks for this super useful life hack!
Worked for me! Granted I didn't have to do it too many times, probably only 5 or so, but this was a huge help!
You saved me from buying a new pressure washer!Py problem was exactly the same as yours!Thank you for the video!
The issue likely involves moisture collection internal to the afety reset switch. If you take an electric heat gun (i.e. hair dryer), and blow over the switch, it will remove the internal moisture within the safety switch, and then it will work fine. If you continue to simply push the reset, you will eventualky weaken the internal components of this safety device, and it will eventually completely quit working at all. Safety switches trip for a reason, and almost always due to moisture, use of the equipment on a GFCI protected electrical circuit, or having an inappropriate grounded home electrical circuit.
YT contributors like you save the day again!!! Thank you!!!
That was exactly what I needed. I didn't count how many times I pressed the button, but it was definitely at least 45. Thank you.
Your the man dude
Totally works- mine wouldn’t rev if I had the nozzle on, so I held the trigger down without the nozzle and pressed reset indeed 45 times (it would rev while pressing it).
Eventually cleared up!! Thanks!!
HALLELUJAH!! This guy have saved the day, I was having trouble with mines too, & yet mashed it down a millions and millions of times & yet it worked! Thanks for that YOU DESERVE SOME SUBS!! 🙏
Thank you! You just helped this first time user to "fix" my brand new pressure washer within the first minute of your video. I wasn't getting much pressure, but I thought it was because I didn't spend more money on a machine. But you just showed me that there is a breaker on the plug end of the power cord. I reset mine, pushed the ON button and my pressure washer sprung to life! Who knew it was supposed to make noise?? 😊
Happy to help Amy!
GENIUS! It worked! Thank you!
My same Pressure Washer (PW) just stopped and I couldn't get it to start again. I had the same symptoms as you were. I did what you said and eventually after a lot of pushing on the reset button
I heard something?? I then click the test button and the green light went out. I then clicked the reset button the green light went back on and the PW started working again.
Your UA-cam was invaluable to me. Thanks for posting it. Saved about an hour waiting on Customer Support to answer and they probably wouldn't have given your solution.
THANKS!!!!!!😀
Haha glad I could help!
Worked like a charm, took about 80 clicks, thank you so much
This worked! My Teande only worked two times before dying, and this brought it back to life. Still not sure I'd recommend a Teande as it seemed to have this problem pretty quickly- but at least I was able to wash my cars - Thanks!
This helped me so much with my pressure washer!!! Thank you so much for providing a informative repair methods on your channel and keep up the good work!!
Glad I could help!
Thank you for your post! Saved me! Greenworks 2700psi worked fine yesterday, left it plugged in overnight (maybe something to do with it??) and wouldn't power up this morning. Followed what you did, got the buzz with the reset box, decided to unplug (different than your procedure), plugged back in, hit reset and BOOM! Worked!
Cameron is a legend thanks brother.
That was very helpful. It fixed the issue.
Bro this works, thank you so much! I was surprised it turned on 😂
This worked perfectly! Thanks man, did exactly what you said and it powered right up.
Finally!!! You nailed it mine would run for a hot second then stop. Thank you for figuring it out cause I was about to put it to the street.
Hi Cameron, you explained my problem right to a T same as yours. I kept mashing the button, used the heat gun, and eventually it made that weird noise that you mentioned and Presto it worked. Thank you for your help.
Thank you!! I ended up holding both buttons down on the power chord and it cut the green light off allowing me to reset and everything was back working!!
OK bro…..I have a Dewalt model and it was work so well I sold my gas model as I only need one….well guess what….day later the Dewalt stopped working. 😢…I just stumbled on your video and BINGO….🎉..after 35 resets the test button worked and I’m off to the races again….
Thanks my man❤
This definitely worked thank you so much!
Happy to help!
It took two attempts, but it worked! Thanks
It worked. Thank you for the video
It worked!! Thank you so much
It actually worked!! Thanks a million. Wonder what causes it
It worked thank you so much
TRY THIS FIRST! Plug into a non gfci or arc fault protected outlet. The electronics in the plug can mess with the cord gfci. I plugged into regular outlet and all was back to normal.
Totally worked!! Ty ty!!
Thanks Cameron!!! I fixed both of my Craftsman 2100 PSI electric Presure washers. I do not think those GFI's were ever working correctly. Cheers and Happy New Year!
Haha I just revved until it started up, funny. Thanks for the video!
I did mine...60 clix...smoked then caught on fire. One way ticket to the trash. Luckily I had an extinguisher close by.
It worked bro. Thank you
Hi there I did mine the test but the light won’t off and it’s funny because I bought it on May and today August 26 I was gonna use it with no luck I reset it and tested but not working So I don’t know what to do
Aye i was having the same issue with a craftsman. I watched this video and it worked. It was like jump starting a car 😂. thank you !
Dude i have a ryobi and i think the gfci needs to be replaced. Thank you brother
Mine trip the house breaker that is 15 amp. I plugged it into a 20 amp 5500watt generator and it trips the generator breaker. This trip occurs every time I let the trigger go to stop the washer. Mine is a brand new unit.
OK Cameron it did work. Thank you very much. I did both things. I disconnected the nozzle on the pressure washer and then flip back-and-forth between reset and on and then it started working. Thank you I gave you a like and I subscribed that's the least I could do for you.
🙏🏽 thank you!!
Thank you!
Dude I can't believe this really really worked!!!!! Hit the reset about 50 times and the motor started clicking. Before I was getting nothing and was about to trash it
Mines is having problems with the soap dispenser area. I finally got the pressure washer working again but now i can't get the soap to come out
You must use the nozzle that works with the soap dispenser
Wow, maybe for you friend's washer you press button 60 times and it will work. Amazing
Thank you!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this bro ! 🤣
Thank you.
Thanks helpful 👍
Worked for me. 😊
Here to report this worked too! Here’s what I did, and what happened initially:
Situation: pressure washing just fine one morning and it stopped working; blue power light on the machine wouldn’t light up and the green light on the power cord box wasn’t on. If I plugged it into another outlet, the green light would come on but after 2 seconds it would shut off. This happened with 4 external outlets and one internal.
Solution: as others said, I plugged it in, green light shut off, I pressed the reset button 100 times and nothing. Unplugged it and then plugged it back in and the green light came on, then off after 2 seconds.
- Another 100 presses. No green light, so no blue light.
- Unplugged and plugged back in, this time I hit the test button with the green light on in that first second, the green light turned off. Probably didn’t do anything but I wanted to note that.
- I unplugged it, pressed the power button on the machine, plugged it back in and it revved on! I turned off the power button on the machine and the green light stayed on this time! I let it sit for a minute and it didn’t go out.
I’m leaving it for 24 hours and will attempt to use it tomorrow morning, if it doesn’t work I’ll come back to edit my comment. Fingers crossed this also solved it for me!
Thank you for this no-nonsense video to get us going!
Thank you so much, Cameron! Your tricks work perfectly!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Ty
Pretty bummed. Mines doing the exact same thing but i pushed the reset button for literally 5 minutes straight. No buzzing sound no nothing. Looks like mines junk unfortunately.
I had an issue with mine. Just took apart the rocker power switch and cleaned it with alcohol and it started working.
agree with this , i used a heat gun air blow and ready
My trigger isn’t working. It’s all slack. I don’t know what to do.
So I went to Lowe’s, bought a new wand and NOW the actual motor isn’t working (like what’s happened to you & probably everyone else watching this video). My motor was working before so now I’m going to just keep attempting what you have demonstrated until it begins working _or I formally lose my mind._ Whichever comes first. 🙏Hopefully the prior!
That thing is probably just a GFCI, Maybe you can cut it off and get a better one. Another way might be to cut it off and install a high quality plug and plug it into a GFCi protected outlet. The safety police won't like this, but if it was mine, I would just cut it off and install a good plug and use it. This is assuming that the pressure washer itself is not causing the problem.
Just tried your recommendation and to my surprise it worked! Thanks! Hopefully, it will continue!,,
I agree that this fixed my problem an after trying multiple things, but every time I use it it does this. Is there not a more efficient product? I get that they’re trying to save us from electrocuting ourselves, but how about telling us how to properly you know run the water out of it so that it’s ready to use the next time. Supposed to take 30 minutes takes two hours.
Wish I could give you 10 thumbs 👍
never got to the buzzing sound pressed 1000 times so idk
as much effort you pit on the video, i never someone never get to the point that much
What causes the breaker to trip ?
On another channel, a guy replaced that power switch to get it to work
Whatever works!
WORKED! THANKS
Cut the gfi end off and wire in a new plug end.The going end is too sensitive
Please baby Jesus let this work for me!!!! BRB
Ohh my lanta it worked 😂😂😂 dude for real thanks I just watched another video that was 21 mins of no help you fixed mine in seconds
Standing in a puddle of water with a piece of electrical cord that is Continually blowing the gcfi circuit? This doesn't sound good to me. Anyone else hair go up on their neck? Lol
Didn’t work !!!
Darn!
😮😮😢 5:13
Get to the point and stop rambling
From a guy who’s only video is him talking to a cat. 🤔😂
SHEESH! Talk about long winded! There is gotta be a better way than 10 Thousand button presses. But thanks anyway
