Why GreenWorks GPW 2006 Pressure Washer motor will not start?
- H
  Heather KellerAug 3, 2025
  If your GreenWorks Pressure Washer motor isn't starting, here are a few things to check: First, make sure the On/Off switch is in the “ON” position. Next, verify the power cord is properly plugged into an outlet that supplies adequate power and try a different outlet if needed. Also, check if the pressure washer circuit breaker has tripped and allow it to cool before restarting. Finally, if the power switch is ON, push in on the gun trigger to engage the AUTO ON switch.

What to do if GreenWorks GPW 2006 motor buzzes but fails to run?
- M
  Michael PhelpsAug 10, 2025
  If your GreenWorks Pressure Washer motor buzzes but doesn't run, it could be due to a few reasons. First, ensure that only the pressure washer is running on the circuit to rule out a supply voltage issue. If the system has residual pressure, 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 to resolve voltage loss. You can also try disconnecting the water supply and powering the unit on for 2 to 3 seconds, repeating a couple of times until the motor starts.

What to do if GreenWorks GPW 2006 Pressure Washer output pressure varies high and low?
- M
  Melissa MartinezAug 16, 2025
  If the output pressure of your GreenWorks Pressure Washer is fluctuating, it could be due to several reasons. Ensure you have enough inlet water supply by fully turning on the water and checking the garden hose for any kinks, leaks, or blockages. Another cause might be the pump sucking air; inspect hoses and fittings to ensure they are airtight. Turn the machine off and purge the pump by squeezing the trigger gun until a steady water flow emerges through the spray tip. Also, the water inlet filter might be clogged, so remove it and rinse in warm water. Lastly, verify that the pressure washer is the only appliance running on the circuit to ensure adequate supply voltage. You can also try running distilled vinegar through the detergent tank.

Why GreenWorks GPW 2006 Pressure Washer unit does not reach high pressure?
- D
  Donald RayAug 22, 2025
  If your GreenWorks Pressure Washer isn't reaching high pressure, consider these potential causes: The diameter of your garden hose might be too small; replace it with a 1” (25 mm) or 5/8” (16 mm) garden hose. The water supply could be restricted, so inspect the garden hose for kinks, leaks, or blockages. Ensure you have enough water supply by fully opening the water source. Check if the pressure tip has been installed on the wand assembly, and add the desired pressure tip to the end of the wand. Lastly, the water inlet filter may be clogged; remove the filter and rinse it in warm water.
