How to start my ENGINDOT Pressure Washer when it won't start?
- M
  Michele PetersenAug 18, 2025
  If your ENGINDOT Pressure Washer engine doesn’t start, make sure the engine power switch is in the ON (I) position. Also, ensure the fuel tank is filled with regular gasoline and that the oil level reaches the minimum on the dipstick. Release any water pressure by squeezing the trigger on the gun. Check that the choke lever is in the correct position: CLOSE or OFF for cold starting, and OPEN or ON (or middle position) for warm starting. If these steps don't work, the carburetor or spark plug may be clogged; you may need to clean them. Also, ensure you are using the correct starting method.

  If your ENGINDOT Pressure Washer has no or low pressure, first attach the required nozzle tip and ensure the water supply faucet is fully open without any kinks or blockages in the hose. Verify that the water supply pressure is a minimum of 30 psi, 4 GPM. Clean the water filter if it's clogged. Squeeze the trigger to release any air in the pump while the machine is running. If the issue persists, the check valve or pump may be damaged, requiring professional assistance.

Why is my ENGINDOT GPW3400 Pressure Washer not taking in detergent?
- S
  Stephen WalshAug 23, 2025
  If your ENGINDOT Pressure Washer isn't taking in detergent, ensure the detergent siphon tube is properly connected. If the tube is damaged, replace it. Make sure you are using the black nozzle for detergent application and that the detergent adjustment knob is in the correct position. Clean the nozzle if it's clogged. Also, detach the detergent siphon tube and clean the fitting with a tip cleaner. Use only detergent approved for pressure washers; thick detergent or a clogged detergent filter can cause issues.

Why does my ENGINDOT GPW3400 engine stop when I move or tilt it?

  If your ENGINDOT Pressure Washer engine stops when moving or tilting it, the low oil shut down sensor may have tripped to protect the engine. Avoid tilting the machine past 15° during operation, and check the oil level to ensure it is above the minimum mark on the dipstick.
