Water leaks from inside the power washer - Stanley 1800 PSI 1.4 GPM Electric Pressure Washer P1800S

First to find the leak , most likely a rubber hose or water pump.

I would guess there is a leak somewhere inside the unit that is spraying water on some electrical component and causing a ground fault.

sounds like you have a hose problem. are the hot and cold water hose connections tight? they may need new washers. if that is the problem turn off water valves,disconnect hoses and replace them with garden hose washers from any hardware store. re-tighten them snugly. just tight enough so they don't leak. if it only leaks while draining, replace the short hoses connected to the pump,located inside bottom of inside of washer.

Could be water fill valves ,,try turning them off for a few nights if this workds ..hey presto..if not could be drain too low,, water entering via sink outlet /drain....in this case raise hose..hope this helps you can let me know.....

yes this is more than likely a leaking inlet valve, to confirm turn of water at wall valves

Hi, There is some lime build up inside the inlet. Remove the hose and push a wire or a small screw driver into the hole and reem it out. That should yake care of the water leaking.
Please let me know if this helps you.

if the washer is still leaking, take the outlet pipe and place it in a dish on the floor , the water is greater and should come out of the pipe, keep watching until empty . remember there can be a lot of water in a washing machine

The first thing that I would check, is the hot & cold water hoses, that connect in the back of the washer, to see if they are tight. If they are tight and still leaking from there, then the rubber washer, inside the brass fitting part needs replaced. If that doesn't help, then disconnect the power, and water hoses, then turn the washer over and check the water hose underneath, to see if its leaking. One of these hoses has to be the problem.

If there is water leaking from under the washer, then you have a water leak from one of your water hoses. Check the back of the washer, where the water comes into the washer, to see if its leaking water or the hose is cracked. If its leaking water from the intake hose, then unscrew the hose and check the rubber washer, to see if it needs reolaced. Sometimes those rubber washers get cracked or broken. If that doesn't help, unplug your washer from the power cord and unscrew your intake water hoses and flip the washer gently on it's side and check the water hoses under the washer for leaks or cracks. Replace the hoses if cracked. Your local hardware store should have replacement hoses. This should solve your problem, but if not, then you need to call a washer repair person to look at it. I hope this helps.:)
