Why won't It siphon soap?

This is a brand new machine and it will not pull the soap into the machine. The correct nozzle is being used and the proper soap. I have even filled the plastic tube with liquid and it will not move in the line.

Hello,
These units use a venturi to inject soap, where the tube goes onto the brass barb, that should unscrew and there is a little ball bearing and spring in there that sometimes stick when thay have not been used for a little while, if you clean the ball bearing up with some steel wool and lube it up and reassemble, 9 times out of 10 this will rectify your problem

Hope this helps,

Brad

How do i prime my troy built 2550 psi pump for the soap?

You have to use a low pressure nozzle ( usually black with very large spray opening) With the low pressure nozzle siphons your detergent in with the spray water . If you are using a high pressure nozzle the soap will not prime.

Will not siphon

This model pressure washer will only siphon from the soap dispenser when you have the low-pressure nozzle attached and then will only sort of dribble out the suds. Good for sudsing, but no good for cleaning. You'll have to suds 1st then change to a highwe pressure spray nozzle to perform the actual cleaning. If it won't siphon with the low pressure nozzle either, then check for a blockage (old, dried soap) in the suction line tubing. Hope this helps!!

How can I stop the siphon?

Are you using the black nozzle? Switch to a different nozzle. If you are not using the black nozzle the siphon fitting is bad.

Why is water sitting in soap dispenser pullout drawer?

Water remaining in soap dispenser. In front loading washers made by LG (some Kenmore too), water may remain filled in the soap dispenser after the wash cycle. This may be caused by the siphon tube being contaminated by detergent residue. To clear it, remove the siphon cover from the tube, and clean them thoroughly, making sure that all residue is removed. Replace the cover and make sure it seats properly all the way down. This will ensure that the siphon starts and continues until the dispenser tray is emptied. A small amount of water, a half inch or less, remaining is normal. There is a video on YouTube that suggests buying a new detergent tray. Try cleaning it first. There are no parts that will break or wear out under normal use.

Have a troy bilt 220 lb Briggs Stratton Put the clear tube into the gallon of soap, but will not draw. Also, how do I remove the nozzle to attach the low pressure nozzle to apply soap solution?

It won't draw soap unless you have the low pressure nozzle on. It can be replaced by pulling back on the slip collar then pulling out the nozzle. The new nozzle is then put in by again pulling back the slip collar and sliding the new nozzle in, making sure the collar goes all the way back and locks into place.

How do I hook up and use soap on model 020228 pressure washer

There are different nozzles. One for detergent, Max, General and Delicate. The detergent one is more a less a soaker its opening is the biggest (less producing pressure), it's the one that must be used to siphon the soap out of the container none of the other tips will allow to siphon. I hope this is helpful to you please rate this answer on how helpful it was. Good Luck and have a great weekend.

Kenmore Elite He3T Washing Machine odor

probaly not mold or mildew
but it may just smell like old soap
when we first buy these units the salsemne forget to tell how how much sopa we really need
well u should not be using anything more than a tablespoon per load
and dont use the dispensor, put it right in the tumbler
if you use too much soap these units tend to build it up between the tubs
since you caught it fairly quickly, you will want to do a load with out soap watch the glass if you see sudsing thats your issue
do a few loads until you cant see anymore sudsing
then cut way back on your soap
i often reccomend when your suds are gone to do one more load with cloths and no soap
this usually takes care of it

Whe using the honda 3000 psi power washer, I've

Are you putting the soap nozzle on the end? Either that or depending on what type of nozzle you have, some times you pull out or push in the nozzle to switch it to soap.

There has to be no pressure to draw the soap, so you either have to put in the soap nozzle in, or if it has an adjustable end, set it to soap by pushing or pulling.

You cannot spray high pressure with soap unless your unit is equipped with another siphon hose for pressure soap.
