Electric Power Washer Leaking Oil : Fixed

[@fabianlopez5094]

My Ryobi was shutting off after 2-3 minutes of use. The thermal switch was doing its job. It was overheating due to low oil because of a small oil leak. I did what you show here and my problem was fixed. Sometimes its not worth the time it takes to fix things.... this time thanks to your video less than an hour and less than 20$! thx

[@karl-heinzmueller7536]

Thanks for this very helpful video. My Nilfisk C110.4 had same problem with leaking oil. Actually the pump inside looks almost identical and I could follow your steps easily. I used STP Engine Stop Leak and full synthetic 5W40 oil. Seems that oil leakage has stopped and my washer works well. Again, great video 😊, thanks

[@bradbryan2286]

This was very helpful - the only thing I could find online to fix the oil leak in an electric pressure washer. Much thanks man!

[@obadiah7771]

Don't own an electric pressure but I figured I watch what you put out because I have learned a lot from you! Thanks for the vids!!

[@doublewide6]

Thanks, I'm happy you find my videos useful.

[@unclexeres]

My old $100 Home Depot special is getting long in the tooth. I'm thinking for my money, you'll see it on the curb with a Free sign and I go buy a new one. Good video though, thanks!

[@ocrun6765]

Great video and explanation. After you put back together with oil did check to see if any of those plugs lead to the oil chamber? I have same unit but mine does not come back on after I let the trigger off, have to stay on continuous. I was wondering if you noticed if there is an unloader valve on this unit?

[@Babyboomer_59]

Thanks for this video, I now have an ideal of what I'm looking at, mine is a Ryobi.

[@kingmftay6210]

Were you able to get yours back running this way?

[@cryoine7194]

from what i know about pumps and machinery in general, you don't want to use engine oil, it has detergents in it that will keep fine metal particles in suspension turning that oil into an abrasive over time, you want to use a non detergent oil so probably compressor oil would be a better bet if you cant get pump oil. if you dont have a filter on the system then dont use detergent oil but the old rule applies, 'wrong oil better than no oil'

[@aleblanc3547]

I've got a pretty weak electric pressure washer that still works, but I really need to upgrade it even though I only use it twice a year on my house. The work would go so much faster with a better electric machine since gas is not something I want to mess given how little I would use it. Thanks, Bob!!

[@doublewide6]

The electric ones are the way to go it you use it less than 4 times a year.

[@Love2StopHate239]

Is it leaking water ANYWHERE? Either from where the water spiket connects to the hose or from where the hoses connects to the pressure washer or from where the hose connects to the gun?

[@1234apache23]

I have a persure washer just like that one I need a hose could u make a video on how to replace the hoes

[@willsrestorations]

Pump protectant spray is not only for storing your pressure washer it's also a maintenance that should be used at least once a week if you're using your pressure washer daily this will keep your pump cool and also keep from hard water pitting the motor.

[@islandstyle76]

NICE JOB, DID YOU DO A VIDEO ON THIS ?CLEAN FORCE CF1800 HD power washer soap dispenser not working ?

[@BrucesShop]

I just did a video (not scheduled yet and i mention that leaks are the worst on these little pressure washers. Good job.

[@doublewide6]

You got it the leaks are the main problem.

[@simondown4712]

How much torque did you use when you tightened the head bolts back down?

[@lovely27grace87]

Do u still have this pressure washer? Are u willing to sell the detergent tank only if not damaged. If so for how much. Clean force 1800

[@Blakehx]

Nice job, maybe this will work on mine! I also have an electric chainsaw that's leaking oil ... Hopefully I can fix it with a similar solution! Thanks!

[@d4b4y4re4kid]

So in finding a filler hole for a similar pump. I have the 3 same hex bolts as you have but i have a smaller hex on the side of one. Could that be a filler for mine or should i just fill it the way you did. I unscrewed all the bolts and drips of water came out even from the side screw mentioned. Any help would be greatful. Thanks

[@jeffreyd1701]

great video, really informative and enjoyable all at the same time! win win

[@matthewgooden3242]

Good job sir great video as always

[@Bigshoots86]

I just cut the curve off an Allen wrench to fit the heads on the pressure washer, much quicker. Bonus is that size is pretty much standard for any furniture you buy nowadays.

[@Fucknuts4u]

huh???

[@moisesabaga9478]

Hi. Buddy my pressure washer is On and Off, what do you think is the problem?

[@Fucknuts4u]

what a f'cking retard question, wtf does that even mean?? did you actually write that and then look at it before clicking the button and think it made sense?

[@davidhinton3595]

Others have commented about the cap blowing off the detergent container.

[@fernandorebong1881]

Sir gd day ..can i buy 3 pcs oil seal for my black+decker power sprayer?if i can buy that how much?

[@alssmallengines]

great fix Bob!

[@doublewide6]

Thanks hopefully it lasts I'm giving it to my sister.

[@spicky2966]

sir All that needed was to replace the 3 oil seals

[@Jim-MT]

I have the same unit. Today all it wants to do is make a loud noise and not pump any water out. I'll probably just take it apart to see what I can find (gears, impeller?). Next one will be gas powered...

[@fernandorebong1881]

Sir ..can i buy 3 pcs of oil seal? pls reply..

[@MissouriOldTimer]

hopefully it will not leak anymore.. looks good so far.

[@doublewide6]

I have been keeping an eye on it so far so good. I'm giving it to my sister, so I will at least know the future history of the unit.

[@erocalypse21]

My clean force pressure wash won’t turn on anymore or clicks on for half a sec then cuts off have any idea what it is?

[@fendermann1825]

Good video man

[@campersBR]

Hello. I got an old karcher k2.14 wich had some issues. It should be fixed now, but I don't want to turn it on yet, as it lost a lot of oil. Would a car motor 10w40 fully sintetic do? Or does it needs some special one?

[@Fucknuts4u]

did you watch the g'damn video?

[@axenz1]

Hi, I was thinking the philip screw for topping oil :)

[@Lsteezy]

Great video brtha. Thnx👍🏼 & God Bless

[@THEMOSTPOD]

What size do I need for the gardening hose part?

[@Fucknuts4u]

WTF kind of retard question is that??

[@larryhysell6757]

Would have been handy to know size of screws and tool to take apart.

[@Fucknuts4u]

if you cant figure it out, you shouldnt be using tools. go grab some knitting needles and yarn and make some baby botties while sitting down to take a piss

[@harisyoung4110]

why wont you just replace all the rubber seal ?

[@willsrestorations]

Because he's a hack in that video was useless

[@pedroa.zepeda8001]

I have the same pressure washer but i have a different problem mine doesnt throw any detergent with the black nozzle what would be wrong with it

[@Love2StopHate239]

I know the advice I am about to give you is basic. You may have already done these things but I had to start somewhere lol. Have you checked the pump that the clear hose that the detergent thru to be applied to whatever you are washing? Make sure there are no cracks or holes in the hose that you are using. Also make sure that your nosal is in good condition and put on properly. Please let me know if you've tried any of those suggestions already or if any of my suggestions helped you in any way. Thanks so much and good luck.

[@chrisdouglas9591]

I can't seem to get those plastic tabs off of my Clean Force 2000 to open it up!?!

[@christianfrey7933]

Yes, I had the same problem. He fails to mention in this video that the tabs are held in by screws directly in front of them on the front side of the pressure washer. Once you take out those screws, tabs will pop right out. It should have been a key part of this video, because without being able to remove the body, then you can’t do anything. Anyway, hope that helps..

[@davidclarke4040]

Hi nice one buddy

[@doublewide6]

Okay. you too.

[@pedroamedro]

my karacher k2 just got a foot through the front of it piece of shit...and there called allan keys

[@michaelmccarty6582]
