  Catherine BakerAug 14, 2025
  If your GreenWorks Pressure Washer motor won't start, ensure the On/Off switch is in the “ON” ( | ) position and squeeze the gun trigger. Check that the power cord is properly plugged in. If using an extension cord, replace it with a 25’ (7.6 m) 14 AWG cord or a 50’ (15 m) 12 AWG cord. Try a different electrical outlet to ensure adequate power supply. Also, allow the unit to cool and restart it if the circuit breaker has tripped.

Why does my GreenWorks GPW 1600 motor buzz but not run?

  Jordan PerezAug 18, 2025
  If your GreenWorks Pressure Washer motor buzzes but fails to run, verify that only the pressure washer is running on the circuit. Turn the unit “OFF”, squeeze the trigger on the spray wand to release pressure, then turn the unit “ON”. Unplug any extension cords and plug the unit directly into the outlet. Disconnect the water supply and power on for 2 to 3 seconds, repeating a couple of times or until the motor starts.

Why does the output pressure of my GreenWorks GPW 1600 Pressure Washer vary?

  Rebecca WarrenAug 21, 2025
  If the output pressure of your GreenWorks Pressure Washer varies, fully turn on the water supply and check the garden hose for kinks, leaks, or blockages. Ensure that hoses and fittings are airtight, then turn the machine 'OFF' and purge the pump by squeezing the trigger gun until a steady flow of water emerges through the spray tip. Remove and rinse the water intake filter. Clean the gun, hose, or power spray tip with distilled vinegar or a specialized cleaner.

  If your GreenWorks Pressure Washer isn't reaching high pressure, replace the garden hose with a 1” (25 mm) or 5/8” (16 mm) hose. Check the garden hose for any kinks, leaks, or blockages that may be restricting the water supply, and fully open the water source. Add the desired pressure tip to the end of the wand. Remove and rinse the water intake filter in warm water. Ensure hoses and fittings are airtight, and purge the pump by squeezing the trigger gun until a steady flow of water emerges through the spray tip. Correctly install the detergent bottle or suction tube, and dilute the detergent if it is too thick.

  If your GreenWorks Pressure Washer isn't reaching high pressure, run warm water through the filter on the detergent suction tube to remove any buildup. If the detergent suction tube is damaged or clogged, remove the obstruction or replace the tube. If the discharge spray tip is obstructed, blow out or remove debris with a needle or spray cleaner.
