Why does my Westinghouse WPX3400 Pressure Washer engine keep stopping?
If your Westinghouse Pressure Washer engine suddenly stops, it's likely due to one of two reasons: either you're out of fuel, in which case you should add fuel, or the oil level is low, so check the oil and add if needed.
What to do if my Westinghouse WPX3400 Pressure Washer loses pressure?
If your Westinghouse Pressure Washer isn't reaching high pressure, it could be due to a restricted water supply. Check your hoses for leaks, blockages, or kinks. The garden hose might be too small; use a 5/8 in. (0.025 mm) hose or larger. Also, ensure you have enough inlet water by turning the garden hose water supply fully ON and again inspecting for any obstructions.
What to do if the detergent is not working on my Westinghouse Pressure Washer?
If the low-pressure detergent wash isn't working on your Westinghouse Pressure Washer, make sure the black (low pressure) nozzle is installed on the spray lance. Detergent only works with this nozzle. If it's missing, replace it. Also, ensure you are using detergent specifically made for pressure washers, as regular detergent may be too thick. Check that the detergent hose is properly connected to the pump and is not clogged. Clean the spray nozzle of any debris. If the detergent hose is clogged, remove and clean it, replacing it if necessary. Finally, a blockage inside the pump detergent valve could be the problem; quickly depress and release the spray gun trigger 4-5 times to clear the valve.
Why does the spray pressure vary on my Westinghouse WPX3400 Pressure Washer?
Variable spray pressure in your Westinghouse Pressure Washer can stem from several issues. Ensure you have a good inlet water supply. Check if the garden hose inlet filter is clogged and clean it if necessary. Also, the spray nozzle might be restricted; remove any particles with a nozzle cleaning tool. Finally, air ingress to the pump can cause this issue. Check all hoses and fittings for secure connections. With the water supply ON, turn the engine OFF and purge the pump of air by depressing the trigger until a steady stream of water flows.
How to fix a Westinghouse Pressure Washer engine that runs erratically?
An erratically running engine on your Westinghouse Pressure Washer may be caused by several factors. Ensure the choke is properly adjusted. Check the oil level and add oil if it's low. Stale fuel or water in the fuel can also cause this issue; drain the fuel and replace it with fresh fuel. Lastly, a faulty spark plug could be the culprit, so consider replacing it.
Why is my garden hose connection leaking on my Westinghouse WPX3400?
If your garden hose connection is leaking on your Westinghouse Pressure Washer, it could be due to loose fittings; try tightening them. Another cause could be a missing or worn rubber washer. Check the hose and pump water inlet washers and replace them if they are missing or worn.
Why is my Westinghouse WPX3400 spray gun lance leaking?
If your spray gun lance is leaking on your Westinghouse Pressure Washer, it may be due to loose fittings. Check for worn O-rings or loose connections. Alternatively, there might be missing or worn rubber washers. Remove the spray lance and/or high-pressure hose and inspect the washers, replacing them if necessary.
Why can't I pull the recoil starter handle on my Westinghouse Pressure Washer?
If you cannot pull the recoil starter handle on your Westinghouse Pressure Washer, it is likely due to pump pressure. Depress the spray gun trigger to relieve the pressure.
