What to do if my Stihl Pressure Washer does not start?
- RryanloweAug 13, 2025
If your Stihl pressure washer doesn't start even when you squeeze the spray gun trigger, several things could be happening. First, ensure the mains plug of the connecting cable or extension cord is properly plugged in. Also, check the circuit-breaker (fuse) or the residual current circuit breaker, and reset it if it has tripped, addressing the cause of the trip. Make sure the socket's fuse rating is correct and that the extension cord has an adequate cross-section and correct length. Finally, the electric motor may be too warm; allow the pressure washer to cool for 5 minutes and clean the nozzle.
