Why won't the burner ignite on my Hotsy Pressure Washer when the trigger gun is open?

  christianmarvinAug 12, 2025
  If the burner on your Hotsy pressure washer won't ignite when the trigger gun is open, the possible causes are no fuel, an adjustable thermostat set too low, a defective pressure switch, dirty or misadjusted electrodes, or no AC generator output. Replenish the fuel supply, raise the temperature setting, repair or replace the pressure switch, refer to the Oil Burner Manual provided with the machine regarding the electrodes, and check the AC generator.

  If there is no water coming from the pressure nozzle of your Hotsy pressure washer, the possible causes include a clogged pressure nozzle, a clogged inlet water screen, or the pump sucking air.

  If you're experiencing poor or no detergent flow in your Hotsy pressure washer, it could be due to a low detergent level, a clogged detergent screen, the detergent metering valve not opening, or a clogged pressure nozzle. To fix this, replenish the detergent supply, clean the detergent screen, check that the handle or knob is not slipping on the shaft, and clean the pressure nozzle.

  Paul TurnerAug 31, 2025
  If the burner of your Hotsy pressure washer is smoking or has an obnoxious odor, it could be due to air bands needing adjustment or improper fuel. Readjust the air bands. Refer to the Oil Burner Section under Installation and use kerosene, #1 Grade Home Heating Oil, #1 or #2 Diesel Fuel. DO NOT USE GASOLINE.

What to do if unloader valve cycles when trigger gun is open or closed on Hotsy 1200?
- C
  Christopher Williamson DDSSep 7, 2025
  If the unloader valve cycles when the trigger gun is either open or closed on your Hotsy pressure washer, it could be due to air in the system, a defective unloader valve, or a water leak between the unloader valve and the trigger gun. Open and close the trigger gun several times. You can also repair or replace the defective unloader valve. Check the fittings, hose and trigger gun for leaks and repair or replace if necessary.
