Why is my Craftsman Pressure Washer failing to produce pressure?
- NNicole ThomasJul 31, 2025
If your Craftsman Pressure Washer isn't producing pressure, several issues could be the cause. First, make sure you're using a high-pressure spray tip. If not, replace it. Check for blockages in the water inlet and clear them. Ensure you have an adequate water supply. Inspect the inlet hose for kinks or leaks; straighten the hose or patch any leaks. Also, examine the inlet hose strainer for clogs and clean it if necessary. The water supply should be cooler than 100°F. Check the high-pressure hose for blockages or leaks and clear any blockages or replace the hose if needed. If the gun leaks, replace it. Clean the spray tip if it's obstructed. If none of these steps work, the pump may be faulty, and you should contact a Sears service facility.
