  If the water temperature of your Shark Pressure Washer is too hot, several factors could be responsible. The incoming water might already be warm or hot, so try lowering its temperature. High fuel pump pressure can also cause overheating, so reduce the fuel pressure. A defective fuel pump should be replaced. If the detergent line is sucking air, tighten all clamps and inspect the line for holes. A defective high limit switch (thermostat) should be replaced. Ensure you are using the correct fuel nozzle size. Insufficient water supply or restricted water flow can also lead to overheating, so check the GPM to the machine and inspect the nozzle for obstructions and proper size.

  If your Shark Pressure Washer has a low water temperature, the issue might stem from several causes. Improper fuel or water in the fuel could be the culprit, requiring you to drain the fuel tank and replace it with the correct fuel. Low fuel pressure can also lead to this problem, so increase the fuel pressure. A weak fuel pump may be the cause; check its temperature and replace it if needed. A partially clogged fuel filter should be replaced as well. Soot or lime build-up on the coils can also affect water temperature, so clean the coils with a soot remover or coil cleaner. Finally, ensure you are using the correct burner nozzle according to the specifications.

  The water temperature of your Shark Pressure Washer might be too hot due to: * Incoming water being too warm. Try lowering the incoming water temperature. * Fuel pump pressure being too high. Lower the fuel pressure. * A defective fuel pump. Replace the fuel pump. * The detergent line sucking air. Tighten all clamps and check the detergent line for holes. * A defective high limit switch (thermostat). Replace it. * An incorrect fuel nozzle size. Consult the Burner Nozzle section for the correct size. * Insufficient water supply. Check the GPM (gallons per minute) to the machine. * Restricted water flow. Check the nozzle for obstructions and ensure it is the proper size.

  Kevin JonesSep 7, 2025
  If your Shark Pressure Washer is smoking, it could be due to several reasons. First, drain the tank and replace any contaminated fuel. Adjust the fuel pump pressure to the correct specifications if it's too low. Inspect fuel lines for leaks or air bubbles, tightening or replacing them as necessary. Replace a plugged or dirty burner nozzle, or one with a faulty spray pattern. Remove and thoroughly clean heavy soot accumulation on the coils and burner assembly. Realign misaligned electrodes to the correct specifications. Replace the fuel filter if it's partially clogged. Check the smoke stack for any obstructions. Clean soot buildup on the coils with a soot remover, and clean lime buildup inside the coils using a coil cleaner.
