Why won't the gas engine start on my Hotsy 965SS?
- S
  Sharon BennettAug 23, 2025
  If the gas engine on your Hotsy Pressure Washer won't run, several factors could be at play. First, ensure you have enough gas and that you're using the recommended fuel. Next, check if the fuel valve is open. A loose spark plug wire could also be the culprit, so make sure it's securely connected. Also, verify that the choke or throttle are correctly set and that the engine ON/OFF switch is in the ON position. Finally, check the engine oil level, as some engines won't start if the oil is too low. Replenish the oil if needed.

What to do if Hotsy 965SS has poor or no detergent flow?
- A
  Amy TaylorSep 2, 2025
  If your Hotsy Pressure Washer has poor or no detergent flow, the issue could be due to an inadequate detergent supply (refill the container, ensure the pick-up screen is immersed, and open the detergent valve), a clogged detergent screen or hose (clean it, always starting with a clean container), a detergent injector valve not set correctly, or a clogged detergent injector check valve (clean the check valve at the detergent injector inlet).

Why Hotsy 965SS will not produce hot water?
- T
  Tina SimpsonAug 31, 2025
  Your Hotsy Pressure Washer may not produce hot water if the burner switch is in the OFF position (place it in the ON position), there's an inadequate fuel supply (refill the fuel tank using recommended fuels), the water supply is inadequate (fully open the faucet, check for hose issues, and clear any inlet screen blockages), the trigger isn't squeezed (water must be spraying for the burner to light), the thermostat is set too low (adjust it to the desired temperature), the fuse is blown (replace it; it's in the Control Box), or the engine is running too slow (move the throttle lever to full throttle).

Why is there low spray pressure at the pressure nozzle of my Hotsy Pressure Washer?
- A
  Alexander GentryAug 30, 2025
  Low spray pressure at the pressure nozzle of your Hotsy Pressure Washer could be caused by an inadequate water supply (fully open the faucet, check for kinked or damaged hose, use a 3/4 inch minimum hose, and check for debris clogging the inlet screen), a partially clogged or damaged pressure nozzle (clean or replace it), air being drawn through the detergent inlet line (refill the detergent container and ensure the pick-up screen is fully immersed), or the detergent injector valve not set correctly.

  If your Hotsy Pressure Washer isn't producing hot water, check the following: Ensure the burner switch is in the ON position and that there's an adequate fuel supply. Also, verify that the water supply is sufficient. Remember to squeeze the trigger, as water must be spraying for the burner to light. Check the thermostat setting and adjust to the desired temperature. Replace the fuse if it's blown. Finally, ensure the engine is running at full throttle.

How to fix low spray pressure on my Hotsy Pressure Washer?
- B
  Brian HarrisAug 27, 2025
  If you're experiencing low spray pressure at the nozzle of your Hotsy Pressure Washer, check the following: First, ensure you have an adequate water supply by fully opening the faucet and inspecting the hose for kinks or damage. Use a 3/4 inch minimum hose size. Also, check the inlet screen for any debris. The pressure nozzle may be partially clogged or damaged, so clean or replace it as necessary. If you're using detergent, make sure air isn't being drawn through the detergent inlet line by refilling the detergent container and ensuring the pick-up screen is fully immersed. Finally, verify that the detergent injector valve is correctly set.

What to do if my Hotsy 965SS Pressure Washer runs, but won't spray?
- D
  Dorothy FreemanAug 27, 2025
  If your Hotsy Pressure Washer runs but doesn't spray, start by checking the trigger gun to ensure the trigger is squeezed. Then, make sure the water supply is turned on fully. A clogged pressure nozzle can also cause this issue, so clean the nozzle opening. If water spray doesn’t appear within 10-15 seconds, discontinue running the machine to prevent pump damage.

What to do if Hotsy Pressure Washer runs but won’t spray?
- E
  Ebony HornAug 26, 2025
  If your Hotsy Pressure Washer is running but not spraying, it could be due to the trigger of the gun being released (squeeze the trigger), the water supply not being turned on (open the water supply valve), or a clogged pressure nozzle (clean the pressure nozzle opening). If water spray doesn’t show within 10-15 seconds, discontinue running the machine and troubleshoot, as damage to the pump will occur if allowed to run.

Why Hotsy 965SS Pressure Washer gas engine will not run?
- R
  Robert BurgessAug 25, 2025
  The gas engine of your Hotsy Pressure Washer might not be running due to several reasons: it could be out of gas (replenish the supply, using only recommended fuels), the fuel valve might be closed (open the valve), the spark plug wire might be loose (reconnect it), the choke or throttle might be set incorrectly (refer to the Operation section for correct settings), the engine ON/OFF switch might be in the OFF position (place it in the ON position), or the engine oil level might be low (replenish the supply).
