Why won't my PowerWasher H1700 start?

  Andrew BrownAug 14, 2025
  If your PowerWasher Pressure Washer unit won't start even when the trigger is depressed, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the unit is turned on by pressing the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. Check for a loose or disconnected plug and reconnect it if necessary. The GFCI plug might be defective; try the reset procedure. If it still doesn't reset, it may need replacement. An incorrect extension cord length or gauge could also be the problem, so ensure you're using the proper cord. Also, the gun trigger or the ON/OFF switch may be defective. Finally, the pressure washer thermal switch may be tripped; allow the unit to cool before restarting.

What to do if my PowerWasher Pressure Washer won't stop when I release the trigger?

  If the PowerWasher Pressure Washer unit continues to run even after releasing the trigger, several factors could be responsible. Ensure the garden hose is laid out flat without any kinks and isn't wrapped on a storage wheel, and that the faucet is fully open to provide a full volume of water to the unit. It's also possible that one of the wands is malfunctioning, so test both. Additionally, the gun itself might not be operating correctly; remove the wand and squeeze the trigger to check if water is coming out of the gun at a rate equal to the garden hose.

How to attach wand to PowerWasher Pressure Washer?

  Shannon HarrisAug 25, 2025
  To attach the wand to your PowerWasher Pressure Washer, apply moderate downward pressure on the wand in the direction of the trigger while twisting it a quarter turn counterclockwise. Setting the gun vertically on a flat surface with the wand pointing upwards can help. Ensure the two tabs on the end of the wand slide all the way in before twisting. If it doesn't work, try removing the o-ring from the end of the wand and attaching it without the o-ring. If the wand attaches without the o-ring, you'll need to replace the o-ring.

How to fix irregular pressure on PowerWasher Pressure Washer?

  Mary JohnsonNov 16, 2025
  Irregular pressure in your PowerWasher Pressure Washer can stem from several issues. It could be due to gun or hose failure, requiring replacement. A kink in the garden hose or the hose being wrapped on a storage wheel can also cause this; unwrap the hose and lay it flat. Water leaking from either the hose or unit needs to be stopped. If the garden hose is too long, shorten it (25-50 feet recommended for city water, 30 feet for well water). A clogged nozzle can also cause irregular pressure, so clean it. Air in the pump can be resolved by running the pressure washer with the gun trigger depressed and the wand removed until a steady stream of water is released. Ensure a wand is attached to the gun, as high pressure is created with the wand, not the gun itself. Finally, check if the quick co...
