Why won't my GreenWorks GPW 1702 Pressure Washer motor start?
- V
  vsotoAug 14, 2025
  The motor may not start because the switch is in the “OFF” position, the power cord isn't plugged in, or the pressure washer circuit breaker has tripped. Ensure the switch is in the “ON” position, the power cord is plugged in, and allow the unit to cool before restarting. Also, check the extension cord. Replace it with either a 25’ (7.6 m) 14 AWG cord or a 50’ (15 m) 12 AWG cord if it is too long, not the proper gauge, or damaged. Finally, try a different outlet to ensure adequate power supply. Squeeze gun trigger.

  If your GreenWorks Pressure Washer isn't reaching high pressure, several factors could be the cause. Make sure that you use 5HSODFH with D 14´ 3MM or 18´ 3PP garden hose. Check the garden hose for kinks, leaks, or blockages, and fully open the water source. Ensure the spray tip is installed on the wand assembly. Clean the water intake filter. Check that hoses and fittings are airtight and purge pump by squeezing 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 motor won't start, first ensure the On/Off switch is in the “ON” ( | ) position and squeeze the gun trigger. Then, check if the power cord is properly plugged in. If you're using an extension cord, make sure it's either a 25’ (7.6 m) 14 AWG cord or a 50’ (15 m) 12 AWG cord. Also, try a different electrical outlet to rule out power issues. Finally, if the pressure washer circuit breaker has tripped, allow the unit to cool before restarting.

What to do if my GreenWorks Pressure Washer motor buzzes but won't run?
- N
  Nicole SweeneyAug 25, 2025
  If your GreenWorks Pressure Washer motor buzzes but doesn't run, it could be due to several reasons. First, verify that only the pressure washer is running on the circuit to ensure adequate supply voltage. Then, turn the unit “OFF”, squeeze the trigger on the spray wand to release any residual pressure, and turn the unit “ON” again. Unplug any extension cords and plug the unit directly into the outlet to avoid voltage loss. Disconnect water supply and power ON for 2 to 3 seconds, repeat couple times or until the motor starts.

Why does the output pressure of my GreenWorks GPW 1702 Pressure Washer vary?
- P
  Paul LucasAug 31, 2025
  Inconsistent output pressure in your GreenWorks Pressure Washer can be due to several reasons. Ensure there's enough inlet water supply by fully turning on the water and checking the garden hose for kinks, leaks, or blockages. Check that hoses and fittings are airtight and purge pump by squeezing trigger gun until a steady flow of water emerges through the spray tip. Also, the water intake filter may be clogged, so clean it. The discharge spray tip may be obstructed, so clear any debris with a needle or spray tip cleaning tool. Lastly, the gun hose or power spray tip may be calcified; clean with distilled vinegar or a specialized cleaner.

  A noisy pump in your GreenWorks Pressure Washer could be caused by the pump sucking air or a clogged water inlet filter. To resolve this, check that hoses and fittings are airtight and purge pump by squeezing trigger gun until a steady flow of water emerges through the spray tip. Also, remove the filter and rinse it in warm water.
