    Why Hotsy 1836SS will not run?
    • J
      Judith JacksonAug 19, 2025
      Your Hotsy pressure washer might not start due to several reasons. The pump switch might be in the OFF position, so ensure it's in the ON position. Check if the power supply is disconnected and connect it properly. A blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker in the electrical supply line could also be the cause; replace the fuse or reset the breaker, ensuring you're using circuits with adequate capacity. Lastly, the motor circuit overload might have tripped. Allow the motor to cool down before placing the pump switch in the ON position.

      Low spray pressure at the nozzle of your Hotsy pressure washer can be due to a few reasons. Check that the water supply is adequate by fully opening the faucet and inspecting the hose for kinks or damage, and ensure you're using a 5/8" minimum hose. Look for any debris clogging the inlet screen. The pressure nozzle could be partially clogged or damaged, so clean or replace it. Also, air might be drawn through the detergent inlet line; refill the detergent container and ensure the pick-up screen is fully immersed.

      If the pressure relief valve on your Hotsy pressure washer is leaking, it could be due to excessive pressure from a defective unloader valve, in which case you should replace the unloader valve. Alternatively, the relief valve itself might be defective and need replacement, or the relief valve could be dirty and in need of cleaning.
