The pressure comes from very sealed container and with the weather hot and cold usually the housing start to expand and let the pressure out…same with the hose.

These units come with a detergent bottle that attaches to the spray wand. The manual describes what detergents to use and the attachment reduces the pressure and siphons the right amount of detergent from the container. It is not a good idea to try to run detergent through the pump. Here is a link to the operating manual for a similar pressure washer. http://www.ppe-pressure-washer-parts.com/files/1961581/uploaded/pw0501400.pdf.

It could trip for a number of reasons. If you turn it on and nothing happens for a few seconds or instantly trips the motor is overloaded or burned up or a motor capacitor is bad. If the machine turns on and sprays if you hold the trigger open while you turn it on and then trips when you let go of the trigger you probably have a problem with the cut off switch . The circuit breaker might be too small for the load of your machine. The extension cord might be too light duty and causing the breaker to trip.

First be very careful because the unit is protected by a ground fault internal circuit interrupter and may trip if there is a short circuit to ground. Even a very small short circuit will trip the circuit breaker. Something else: If you are plugging it into an already existing ground fault outlet then that may also cause one of the breakers to trip. Like I first mentioned, if you don't know what your doing be very careful. Electricity and water are not friends, especially if the circuit breaker is tripping. Good luck, Marty

The systems are simple but if they aunt stored correctly(allowed to freeze) or the air isn't purged out of it. It can result in damage to the machine.If water is dripping out of the pump it is damaged. if not then it could be air (purge system), or a damaged or stuck check valve.

Sounds like a faulty seal around the gun. Repair might be few bucks if you take it in. But the price of the part is probably under a buck. Depends if you want to rip apart it yourself.

You can get parts for it but you need some odd tools to work on the pump. You will need a torque wrench, seal drivers that are a special size for the pump seals, and a good set of regular tools. You need to have a pick set for pulling the seals and the valves.

If the washer is the kind that shuts off completely when the pistol grip is released, the problem is likely the little pressure sensor located near the output fitting (the threaded part to which the hose connects). The sensor is a little plunger held down against an opening in the side of the pipe by a spring when there is low or no pressure in the output pipe, as when the trigger is pulled and the pressurized water in the hose is released by pulling the trigger. That completes the electrical circuit and the washer is on and continues pumping water. When the trigger is released, water in the hose and output pipe jams up super high pressure, forcing tjhe little plunger out against the spring, and the electrical circuit is broken. If you take the case apart, you will see wires coming from that area. The fix (if this is the problem) is to free up the little plunger.
