    How to fix Hotsy Pressure Washer pump motor that won't run?
    • J
      Jennifer JohnsonAug 30, 2025
      If the pump motor of your Hotsy Pressure Washer won't run, there are several potential causes: * The GFCI might have tripped. In this case, reset and test the GFCI, following the device's instructions. * There might be no voltage to the machine. Test the power supply and correct any issues. * The pump motor reset switch (thermal overload protector) could be tripped. Push the reset switch on the control box. If it trips again, check for proper voltage or a clogged pressure nozzle. * Excessive pressure due to a clogged pressure nozzle can also prevent the motor from running. Clean the pressure nozzle to resolve this.
