How to fix Ryobi pressure cleaner?

[chrisMol]

Hi, my unit purchased in 2021 does not dispense high powered water when I press the trigger. I have to turn it off, then hold thenozzle ttrigger on and turn the machine back on. If I disengage the trigger nozzle I have to repeat the process. Can you help?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @chrisMol. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about a Ryobi pressure washer.

There doesn't sound to be much that you could troubleshoot with that issue. I would presume that the internal pressure switch that reacts to you pressing the trigger has failed and your workaround is temporarily resolving the issue. It's potentially an internal fault with the unit. You could take it to a service centre or even go in and have a chat with a Power Tools expert in-store. They might be able to take a look at it for you to determine if anything obvious is wrong.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
