What to do if my Kobalt KPW-2000 Pressure Washer won't turn on?
First, ensure the Kobalt pressure washer is in the 'OFF' position. Plug the electrical cord into a grounded 120-volt outlet, avoiding extension cords. If the plug doesn't fit, the outlet may not be properly grounded; try a different outlet. If it still doesn't work, try another outlet. If problems persist, call Customer Service at 1-866-206-0888.
Why does my Kobalt Pressure Washer turn on for 2 seconds, then shut off?
When you connect the water, assemble the accessories properly, and turn on the power switch, the Kobalt pressure washer may turn on briefly (1-2 seconds) to prime the pump. It will then automatically shut off, waiting for you to press the spray gun trigger. Water flow begins when you press the trigger. If you want to make it work continuously, turn the power switch off, hold the trigger on the spray gun to have a steady stream of water, and while holding the trigger, turn the power switch on.
What to do if the high pressure hose will not connect to the spray gun of my Kobalt Pressure Washer?
The issue is likely with the rubber sleeve on the high-pressure hose fitting. It probably slipped up. Wiggle, twist, and pull the rubber sleeve down until the entire tip is visible, plus an extra 1/8 inch of the metal fitting. Now, try inserting the hose tip into the spray gun until it 'clicks'. If you still have problems, carefully cut away the end of the sleeve with a sharp knife, being cautious not to damage the hose.
What to do if my Kobalt KPW-2000 is running but there is no water flow?
First, check the water source. If the water source is ok, try to unclog the nozzle on the lance, using the nozzle cleaning instructions. Alternatively, remove the lance and spray directly from the spray gun to see if the lance is the source of the problem.
Why is water leaking where the high pressure hose connects to the spray gun on my Kobalt Pressure Washer?
Ensure there's an o-ring at the end of the high-pressure hose's metal tip. Without the o-ring, the connection will leak. You can order O-Ring Kits by calling Customer Service at 1-866-206-0888.
