Thank you SO much! I knew it was the GFCI plug, but I didn't realize that I could detach it from the cable. I was already looking at buying a new $300-$400 power washer when I found your video. I followed your link, got same-day delivery, and I now have my power washer back good as new. Really appreciate you!
That's awesome! I'm glad you got it fixed!
Thank you for this it worked perfectly! I’ve had my Ryobi power washer sitting in my garage for YEARS and this literally took 10 minutes.. thank you again!
I'm glad it worked for you!
This pressure washer is great. I've used it in so many circumstances and many hours. The GFCI plug went out so I hardwired it temporarily. That lasts a while until the motor started sounding bad and smoking so I think it's done. I was hoping to be able to buy a replacement motor which I've not been able to find a new motor. I would have also properly repaired the wire. Home Depot is selling the upgraded model for $100 atm. I buy this years ago for Black Friday for $60 and besides the wire and hose issue this thing has surprised me for how much I've used it.
I've been really happy with it. Strong enough to wash cars and equipment, but not so strong that you have to worry about blasting paint off!
Easy fix how many people would have thrown that out. Good job saving it from the landfill!
Thanks! Yep, much better than throwing it away and buying a new one!
thanks for explaining this. mine just stop working
Hopefully this will do the trick!
@@livingon80 it worked. thanks alot
Oh that's great! You're welcome!
Hi
Time is flying
Have a great week
Thanks! I hope you have a great week too!
$20! Thanks I was trying to find the plug but I’m an idiot and had no idea what to get.
Did you find the right one on Amazon?
@@livingon80 ya. Used your video link. Hope you got the amazing $.03 from the affiliate link. 🤣
🤣 I'll put that $.03 to good use!
Just purchased the 1800 PSI 1.2 gal per hour electric power washer. Used it twice and worked perfectly. Now, when I hit the ON switch it shuts off immediately. I've checked the GFCI and no problems. I'm lost. Thanks for any suggestions.
I'm in the exact same boat
I'm not sure. Is the breaker the outlet on overloaded maybe?
My Ryobi 1600 PSI 1.2 GPM GFCI LED does light up green and there is not buzzing sound. When I press the start button on the washer, the LED on the button doesn't light up and the machine doesn't start. Does this mean the GFCI is broken?
It's very possible. The good thing with Amazon is if it doesn't fix it, you could always return it. Best of luck!
@@livingon80 Yeah, that's what I thinking as well. Thanks.
@@livingon80 Thank you so much, I've replaced the GFCI and it work.
@@cyprezz excellent!!! Glad it worked for you! Take care!
Is that really neded or will work on a normal plug
You need to have a GFCI on there because if you get electrocuted, it will short out out real quick and prevent you from being electrocuted and shut the electricity off.
Agreed. It's something that technically would work but like @RobertoBeretta148 said, that's a bad idea.
I changed the GFCI and still doesn’t start
I would double check the wiring and make sure the breaker in the house isn't tripped. Good luck!
