Why does my Stihl Pressure Washer engine keep stopping?
If the engine of your Stihl Pressure Washer stops, the machine might be switching off because the motor is overheating. To resolve this, check whether the supply voltage and machine voltage match. Allow the motor to cool down for at least 5 minutes.
How to troubleshoot a Stihl Pressure Washer when the motor hums but doesn't run?
If the motor of your Stihl Pressure Washer does not run but hums when switched on, it could be due to several reasons. First, check the electrical connection, plug, cable, and switch, as the mains voltage might be too low or improper. If you're using an extension cord, ensure it has a sufficient cross-section. Avoid overly long extension cords; try connecting the machine directly or with a shorter cord. Also, the mains circuit-breaker might have tripped. In this case, switch off the machine, actuate the spray gun until water only drips out, engage the safety catch, and reset the breaker. Finally, make sure to actuate the spray gun when switching on the machine.
What to do if my Stihl RE 98 Pressure Washer is not dispensing detergent?
If your Stihl Pressure Washer is not supplying detergent, the detergent tank might be empty; refill it. Also, the detergent intake could be clogged, so eliminate any blockage.
