If it was left out in garage over the winter water in it may have cracked the pump. You must bring it in to basement or somewhere that doesn't get below 32 degrees. Also check the plug reset, and are you using a GFI receptical - if so press the reset on it also. You must always have the water on full at the hose when turning on the pressure washer.

I can't say for sure - there is probably a lot that can go wrong, internally - but one thing to triple check is that you are following the startup procedure exactly. First, hook up the power-washer gun hose to the power washer. Next, hook up the garden hose to your home, turn it on and make sure ALL the air is out of the hose. Then shut off the water, and attach the hose to the power washer. Then, turn back on the water, and squeeze the trigger on the gun for a bit. After all that, THEN turn on the machine. At least you can rule that out...

Not that I know of. There could be something stuck in the two tracks that go down the central support. Or maybe the adjustment nuts at the top that control the pressure have gotten out of whack.

The pressure isn't marked (but I'm sure it does). However, due to applying pressure the clamp mechanism on mine broke 3 times and I had to take it to a machine shop each time, then the cord burnt out and I got a new at Radio Shack and then the heat element died and I bought something else. I spent more on fixing this thing than it cost.

If you are using the reservoir to add cleaner to your project, there will be minimum pressure. Make sure that you have not see the unit to feed from the detergent reservoir.

Check the pressure setting with the guage that you got when you purchased your pool cleaner. If that doesn't work, you have something in the line

Once I removed the spongy water filter from inside the fixture mine has been fine. If you did not remove that filter I would start there. Maybe you are getting build up caught in it. Mine has been working great with no drop in pressure.

Have had th unit for a couple of months, and so far no problem like this. Try contacting Hoover?

Is the machine new? If it's old, did you clean the machine and prep it for storage last year? If you didn't you can try the cleaning fluid or get some very hot distilled water and try to clear the machine. BTW, did you use distilled water last year? If you used tap water you may have scaling build up which may not be fixable.

Your heater is broken. This happened to me as well. I've gone through a lot of steam cleaners, but this had the shortest life span.

I guess you mean the pressure hose. Try Home Depot. I got one there - a stronger one. Make sure the connectors are identical. The original one lasted for one usage. Piotr

Probably contact the manufacturer. I've had mine for years and haven't had that problem, but if I did, that is what I would do.

I haven't experienced this. Is the water level getting low or have you noticed that the "Steam Ready" indicator light is off (meaning that you have used up the available steam and must wait for the unit to build up steam) ? Other than that, I can't think of a reason for the situation you describe.

Mine is still fine after almost a full year. I'd suggest you check the installation and if it still doesn't work well contact the manufacturer for a replacement unit.

hmmm...I might think about returning it. There was no oil or smell of oil on ours. Makes me think something got spilled on it in the factory or something. Good luck.

The sprayer should not have liquid. It might have been used and returned. Send it back.

Nope, I have no problem with the unit. I put it in low pressure and it works fine.

We've had ours since Jan. No problems. You might try letting the water run for 10 mins. Before you use it.
