  If your Campbell Hausfeld pressure washer doesn't start, first check if the GFCI has tripped and push the reset button on the plug. Then check the plug, socket, and fuses to ensure they are working correctly. Remove any extension cords, as the product should not be used with one. Also, verify that the main supply voltage is adequate. Finally, if the thermal safety switch has tripped, switch off the unit and allow the motor to cool down.

  If your Campbell Hausfeld pressure washer's pressure drops after a period of normal use, it could be due to a worn nozzle. Check the nozzle and replace it if necessary. Alternatively, the nozzle might be in a low PSI position; adjust it to the high-pressure position.

How to fix low pressure in my Campbell Hausfeld Pressure Washer?

  If your Campbell Hausfeld pressure washer has low pressure or the pump runs rough, the issue might be a worn or wrong-sized nozzle; replace it with the proper size. The inlet filter on the pump could be clogged, so clean it and check it more frequently. A restricted inlet could also be the cause; check the garden hose for collapses or kinks and ensure adequate inlet water flow. A leaking high-pressure hose can also cause low pressure, so replace it if necessary. Finally, ensure hoses and fittings are tight to prevent the pump from drawing in air.
