I've had this powerwasher for a little over 2 years (the warranty has JUST expired). 3 months ago or so it stopped working - it wouldn't start. Or, I should say, it starts for a couple of seconds and then shuts down. Anybody else experience this? Any suggestions for what I can try on my own? The places I called want to charge $80 just to diagnose it. It's a shame that I didn't realize I had a 2 year warranty or I could have had it covered...warranty is expired by just one month. Thanks in advance. I've had this powerwasher for a little over 2 years (the warranty has JUST expired). 3 months ago or so it stopped working - it wouldn't start.

I've had the same one for three years and it always starts on the 2nd pull. I don't know how maintenance savvy you are so I'll just cover a few areas which you might look at. 1. The choke, is it left on? 2. Your air filter. Clogged, damp, any obstructions?3. Spark plug, clean it, check the gapping or just replace it.Hope one of these solves your problem because this is one of the most dependable power washer I've owned. It gets used a lot in the summer!

My pressure washer recently as of this spring would not start, after sitting for 8 months with gas w/ethanol. Take your carborator apart and spray some cleaner in there. Go find some real 100% gas and some Seafoam and hopefully that will do the trick, because it worked for me. I worked on my pressure washer for a few weeks before it finally cranked up. Starts on first pull now.

We haven't had any problems with ours. Works great. Doubt the warranty goes beyond a year. I would call them and see if you are missing something about starting it.

I registered mine thru Ipower and they say it has a 2 year warranty, but yea contact the manufacturer they should help you out, and probably replace it for you, don't contact the seller unless you got it directly from Ipower.

You are lucky it was three years mine stopped at less than a year and the electrical part they were on back order for a good long time. I would not recommend purchasing this unit at all. We purchased another brand after we received our money back.

unplug, replug, make sure the power cord has a good connection...try a different outlet. If that does not fix it, I would contact your seller for warranty care.

I think the motor had a 2 year warranty and the rest of it was 1 year or somewhere around 80hours. Going by memory on this. Usually generator work or they don't right away or within a few hours. Motors can develop issues over sometime.

I have been searching the Net for contact information on the company, but found nothing. The manual does not have contact information as well. Thus far, mine is still working; however, I am now concerned about this matter too. If mine should stop working, I have selected two brands to move to, just in case. Sorry I could not be of more help to you.

Deprnds on how long you have owned it. Call customer service. I threw mine away after the second one failed after 2 months. Overpriced piece of @&!"@$$!!?

Hi there I just re packed this machine and returned it to the manufacturer. Iits have had it for less than 3 months and it does not work . The manufacturer says it will repair not replace and I had to pay for the shipping back to Oregon where the repair center is . I do not have any idea how long it will take to fix not did the offer to give me a time frame . My best advice is to NOT but this machine . I know this was not what you asked and I can not respond to that since I just shipped the machine back, but regardless whether it does take Bolivares do not spend you money on this trash .

I had the exact same issue! I was still using my old one, waiting for it to actually die, like I thought it was going to 2 years ago. I took it to a local Toro repair shop (the day before my warranty was up), they sent it in, waiting on the replacement.

Assuming you didn't disassemble it for cleaning, these should be unrelated. I just had the same problem. Mine was 2.5 years old. There's a 3 year warranty. They sent me a new one. With a new warranty. If it's over 3 years old, it's time to buy a new one.

Wish I could help but my H2O mop quit working and I called the company and they said my model is discontinued (after 2 yrs.) I would not buy another one from them! They should stand behind their product or get out of the business. I called around and found that repair co. do not want to even look at it. Therefore I am out of luck !

What I have learned from the process of replacing the pump is that the oil-less pumps are pretty disposable. You pay about another $100.00 for a similar powerwasher that has an oiled pump and it lasts forever, but that the grade of Power washer that these pumps replace for is not reliable. I bought the replacement pump last year so I have no idea whether it will give me more than one year, and it is still too cold for me to use it yet this year.

As someone mentioned, its electronic...so warranty might be out. That being said, make sure when you replace it again, replace the blower motor with it. Blower motor amperage causes the module to short. Usually after you hit a bump, temp change, or while starting up...just like your home ac unit. They don't just die

Sorry, mine just stopped working pretty sooner after purchase. Took it to designated repair shop, no parts available. Greenworks sent me another model for replacement, no problems so far, better design.

They are an inexpensive appliance with a limited life expetancy. How old is the unit? They have a heating element just like a hot water heater or oven and it will eventually just burn open. If not still covered by the warranty, it's best to just replace the unit. The part to fix it will run as much installed as a new one. Call manufacturer and see if they will do anything for you.
