Why does my Stihl Pressure Washer not start?
- CCody HillJul 29, 2025
If your Stihl Pressure Washer doesn't start when you press the spray gun trigger, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the connecting cord or extension cord is properly plugged in. Check your circuit breaker or earth-leakage circuit breaker, and reset it if it has tripped, while also reducing the electrical load on the circuit. Verify that the socket's fuse rating is adequate and that you're using an extension cord with the correct cross-section and length. Finally, the motor may be too warm; allow the pressure washer to cool down for 5 minutes and clean the nozzle.
