  Jessica PerezAug 20, 2025
  If your GreenWorks Pressure Washer motor won't start, first ensure the On/Off switch is in the “ON” ( | ) position. Check that the power cord is properly plugged in and that the electrical outlet supplies adequate power. Try a different outlet if necessary. Also, the pressure washer circuit breaker might be tripped, so allow it to cool and then restart the unit. Finally, make sure to squeeze the gun trigger with the power switch ON to engage the AUTO ON switch.

What to do if GreenWorks GPW 1951 Pressure Washer motor buzzes but won't run?

  If the motor of your GreenWorks Pressure Washer buzzes but fails to run, verify that only the pressure washer is running on the circuit. If the system has residual pressure, turn the unit “OFF”, squeeze the trigger on the spray wand to release the pressure, then turn the unit "ON". Remove any extension cords and plug the unit directly into the outlet. If the pressure washer has not been used for long periods, call the Toll-Free Helpline. If there is residual friction among components, disconnect the water supply and power ON for 2 to 3 seconds, repeat a couple of times or until the motor starts.

  Danielle RamirezAug 25, 2025
  The motor might not start due to several reasons: * The power cord isn't properly plugged in, so ensure it's securely connected. * The electrical outlet may not be providing enough power; try using a different outlet. * The pressure washer's circuit breaker might have tripped; allow the unit to cool down before restarting. * The power switch is on, but the gun trigger isn't engaged; with the power switch on, squeeze the gun trigger to activate the auto-on switch.

Why does the GreenWorks GPW 1951 Pressure Washer output pressure vary?
- D
  david18Aug 27, 2025
  If the output pressure of your GreenWorks Pressure Washer varies, start by ensuring you have enough inlet water supply. Turn the water on fully and inspect the garden hose for any kinks, leaks, or blockages. Also, the pump might be sucking air; check that hoses and fittings are airtight. Turn the machine 'OFF', and purge the pump by squeezing the trigger gun until a steady flow of water emerges through the spray tip. Clean the water inlet filter and make sure that only the pressure washer is running on the circuit. If the gun, hose, or power spray tip is calcified, run distilled vinegar through the detergent tank.

What to do if GreenWorks GPW 1951 does not reach high pressure?
- M
  Miguel JonesAug 28, 2025
  If your GreenWorks Pressure Washer isn't reaching high pressure, first, make sure you're using a garden hose with a suitable diameter, preferably a 1” (25 mm) or 5/8” (16 mm) hose. Then, check for any restrictions in the water supply, such as kinks, leaks, or blockages in the garden hose. Ensure that the water source is fully open and that the pressure tip is correctly installed on the wand assembly. Lastly, inspect the water inlet filter for clogs and rinse it in warm water if necessary.

Why is detergent not coming out of my GreenWorks GPW 1951 Pressure Washer?
- J
  James WolfAug 30, 2025
  If detergent is not coming out of your GreenWorks Pressure Washer, the detergent might be too thick, so try diluting it. Also, the filter on the detergent suction tube could be clogged; run warm water through it to remove any build-up. A damaged or clogged detergent suction tube can also be the issue; remove any obstruction or replace the tube. Finally, check if the spray tip is obstructed and blow out any debris with a fine needle.

  If soap does not come out or comes out at low pressure from your GreenWorks pressure washer, install the 75 degree, black, soap tip in wand. Additionally, the soap tank may be plugged with debris or thick soap, empty soap from tank, clean out using vinegar and water.

  John KnappSep 3, 2025
  If the output pressure of your GreenWorks Pressure Washer is fluctuating, consider these potential causes and solutions: 1. Insufficient water supply: Ensure the water is turned on fully and check the garden hose for any kinks, leaks, or blockages. 2. Air in the pump: Verify that all hoses and fittings are airtight. Turn the machine off and purge the pump by squeezing the gun trigger until a steady stream of water flows through the spray tip. 3. Clogged water inlet filter: Remove the filter and rinse it in warm water. 4. Low supply voltage: Make sure the pressure washer is the only appliance running on its circuit. 5. Clogged components: Run distilled vinegar through the detergent tank to clear any blockages in the gun, hose, or power spray tip.

  Ian BrandtSep 5, 2025
  If your GreenWorks Pressure Washer isn't reaching high pressure, it could be due to the following reasons: * The diameter of the garden hose is too small; replace it with a 3/4" or 5/8" garden hose. * The water supply is restricted; inspect the garden hose for kinks, leaks, and blockages. * There isn't enough water supply; fully open the water source. * The pressure tip hasn't been installed on the wand assembly; add the desired pressure tip to the end of the wand. * The water inlet filter is clogged; remove the filter and rinse it in warm water.
