In this video we repair a Ryobi 1600 Electric Pressure washer. This pressure washer was discarded because the previous owner thought it was no good any more (literally junk). All I know is that it stopped working. So is it salvageable or is it junk? Watch the video and see, you probably wont believe what's wrong with it. I know it took me by surprise.

[@luma7901]

I also bought one of this product and the same problem happened to me, it stops working after ten minutes of operation, what is the solution to this problem

[@ModernDIYProjects]

@@luma7901 You either have a blockage causing the unit to overheat, or the GFI is overheating and cutting off the power. Try replacing the GFI circuit and see if that helps. It seems to be a common problem with these units.

[@xBroWsinG]

@@ModernDIYProjects mine smells like it is burnt when I turn it on

[@ModernDIYProjects]

@@xBroWsinG That is not a good thing. You'll have to track down the smell to see where it comes from. It may be a replaceable part. If it smells but still works then that is a good sign.

[@GregbMass]

That wasn't even problem the Ryobi pressure washer will not start up or have power to the pump without it being connected to a hose with water pressure all you did was by pass that fall safe system Ryobi had in place to protect the pump from ever being ran dry!Omg that's funny

I been having my 1800psi pressure washer and I was ready to get rid of it... but I'm gonna try this and if it works greatly apreciate the video

[@JasonECI]

You might want to have a contactless electrical tester to see how far electricity goes, so you know which component may have failed before you take the whole things apart.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Haha, funny you should mention that because only a few days after I made that video I went and got one. Go check out my review of the Harbor Freight one kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaLRkqCieKdkfac

Ok I change the plug however my motor is still not cutting on any further trouble shooting I can do?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Replace the plug with a standard plug instead of a GFCI and see if it works. If not then the motor is bad because I don't remember any other fuses or breakers on this unit.

[@buzbom1]

[@thealberthustle]

Great video! What is the part called that I have to order to replace the black circuit breaker reset button part.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Just look up GFI, its easier than Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter. On Ebay (Amazon too I'm sure) they sell them with the cord and everything so all you do is install it from where it connects to the motor. Cheaper and safer.

[@mratlr]

But did you reset the switch on that breaker on the power cable. If there is a fault, it trips and there's no power. Was it reset ? In all your testing , you never reset that button.

[@endyvaldovinos8134]

I Don’t have one of those tools that lights up but I do have a multimeter, Will that work

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Yes, that is even better.

[@TRYtoHELPyou]

Our GFCI has to be pressed every single time we plug in... Maybe try that?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Actually that means that your GFI circuitry is slowly failing. You shouldn't need to do that every time you plug it in. Don't be surprised if one day soon your GFI fails.

[@steveb7674]

@@ModernDIYProjects actually some are designed that way

[@PatrickGarza-ui9it]

Thx hope mines the same way ❤

[@LostPie]

I have a similar unit, on my third actually and have learned the green lights are your friend. I can't tell if your switch has a green light but, If the GFI plug has a green light , there is power going to it, not necessarily thru it. If the switch on the unit doesn't have a green light on, then you know from the beginning the power cable is bad or the GFI plug needs to be replaced.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Yes, mine had the green light lite up, that is why I was confused at first. I later learned as you said that the green light only means power is going to the plug not through the plug.

[@TheGOATof909]

So did you find a new gfci connector? Im having the exact problem!!

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Sure did. I took the GFI off an old hair dryer that wouldn't heat up any more. It was the same specs as the one on this machine so it works great. If you don't have an old hair dryer you can get a new GFI at Home Depot or on Amazon.

[@TheGOATof909]

[@jacobgreen6939]

my GFCI won't light up. advice? I could send it into Ryobi in California for 20 bucks and weight probably 3 weeks to get it back or I can just dig into it myself and try and fix it

[@ModernDIYProjects]

The light is irrelevant if it doesn't work. Make sure that the GFCI works. There is a test button, use than and see if it still works. If the little light diode burned out you really don't care. All you care about is that the GFCI works. If it doesn't work, then you can probably get a replacement for less than shipping it to be fixed. If you are so inclined, I would say to fix it yourself. Easier and faster.

[@jacobgreen6939]

@@ModernDIYProjects thx for reply. So in theory, I could put a reg plug end on it and plugvit it into a gfi extentension cord, right?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Yes you could. Or you could get a GFCI plug end and apply it to this unit which is what I did. But be sure to ALWAYS have a GFCI on this, otherwise you could get electrocuted. Water, Electricity and the Human body DO NOT play well together.

[@patrickstafford8480]

I Just cut the cord spliced it and replaced it with another cord For a temporary fix. I Will either be buying a new plug with the surge protector built in or splicing an old hair dryer and stealing that cord for a plug. I suppose I could also add a fuse to my temporary fix and that would work as well. I too got one from someone who thought the unit was junk. They even said they watched your video and said the issue was narrowed down to the plug.... I guess sometimes when you need something now it’s easier to just get a new one and leave the old one. Well one mans trash is another mans treasure!

[@stevenbryant4718]

A surge protector is for protecting the device only. The GFCI protects you from shock and is important because of the water involved primarily. Are you still there?

[@patrickstafford8480]

@@stevenbryant4718 haha yes Steve. All that info was just options. The replacement plug is only $15 online. I bought that and installed it properly. Only reason I tried the splice route was buddy was gonna throw it out so before it hit trash I just went for diagnosis and made the plug to see if it was seized (I just was seeing if it cycled power not running it)

[@stevenbryant4718]

@@patrickstafford8480 During a hurricane it is illegal in FLA to power your home with electric generator if it is in anyway tied to the grid. That is beacause people do stupid things with electrical wiring they saw on the internet. The power company technicians will come to your home and pull your meter. They don't like to work on live circuits, go figure. Sure they have life insurance, but who'll repair the downed power lines?

[@mar1max73]

Does rocking the power switch on&off really works?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

It does not work if the problem is in the GFCI switch. Rocking the switch back and forth only works, if your power switch is bad. But the GFCI has it's own separate circuitry which is not affected by the power switch because it is built into the head of the power plug. It cuts off the power before it ever gets to the power switch.

[@anthonymoore2287]

Do you have a part number for the replacement gfci and how much did you find it for and where? I appreciate your skills, I enjoy repairing things as well.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

There is no need for a part number. I just got a generic GFI plug and replaced it. I didn't use a Ryobi part. Go on Ebay or Amazon and look up GFI or GFCI replacement and you will get tons of results. I picked the cheapest one.

[@candlewick96]

Thank you very much! I was just about to toss out my pressure washer because I've ran out of components to check, not knowing that the one thing I thought worked (GFCI plug) might be the problem. I think the darn light shouldn't come on at all if there's no current getting to the other end. I hate to think how many appliances are in the dumps right now because of it.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Yeah, I did'nt think they went bad either, because it doesn't happen that often. The reason they are on devices like this is because you are working with water, and it's to prevent you being electricuted while standing in a puddle of water.

[@wolfy214]

I know right Frank Caan?!?! I was thinkin the same thing! I think that is just plain dumb for that light to come on right at the beginning. Bc when I didn’t see the light on up on the unit right away I thought, well the lights on on the plug, so it’s gotta be something with the motor or pumps shot. Just thought the worst.

Where can i get this part? I have the same issue with that same model

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Just go on Amazon or Ebay and search for a GFI replacement. Then just chop off your old one and replace it.

[@Souders_Family]

So even though the green light is on the plug, it still can be the plug?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

That's right. That is what threw me off in the beginning of the diagnosing. It seems that the light only tells you that you have power going to the plug, and nothing more.

[@Souders_Family]

@Modern DIY Projects okay cool thank you so very much!

[@krodyssey4770]

Is it safe tho when you run it without a gfci plug. I would run the wire from a extension cord and wire them together so I get a straight plug without gfci. And by the way I got a gfci outlet in the kitchen where I run the pressure washer. If it safe?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

It is not smart to run a device that uses water and electricity without a GFI. Like I mentioned before, it's easy and cheap to get a replacement GFI. You can get one online or at Home Depot and wire it in. If you are plugging the unit into a GFI that is wired into the house, then you are OK because you are already using a GFI. Some people have GFI in their garage wall outlet for such purposes.

[@blcdad]

Had my switch fail too on my Ryobi Power Washer. Seems to be a common problem.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Yes, it was a very common issue a while back. I don't know if it's been corrected in newer models.

Nice vid, how bad is it to leave while bypassing GFCI? Ya, there's water, etc. but I will have the cord WAY far away from machine. Also, it looks like many replacements are 15A, how do you know required spec?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

The bad part about not using the GFCI is that you could get electrocuted. If the cord touches water and shorts it can electrocute you if you are standing in the water. It could also blow out house fuses and such. To get a replacement just look at the specs on your machine. Should be stamped on it somewhere. Easy to get a cheap GFCI on Ebay or Amazon or maybe at a local hardware store. If you have an old hair dryer that doesn't work you can take that part and swap it over.

[@a.camden4631]

Did you happen to use yours without a gfci on it at all? Was thinking of trying get one use out if it before i got a new replacement gfci

[@juicer52]

Always check the "test" button on the GFCI first. Could have saved you from dissecting the unit. Live and learn. Odd thing on your unit, mine AND many others I watched on youtube, the white wire is connected to the gold screw (L) and the black to the N neutral (silver) screw. This is opposite the convention where white is Neutral and Black is power. Ryobi had no explanation for this and the GFCI manufacturer just shrugged.

[@JoseEvo]

Thanks 🙏!!

[@ModernDIYProjects]

You can buy a new GFCI switch online. Cut the old one off and rewire the new one in it's place. It's an easy fix. I did it to this one. You can also buy an entire cord with the GFCI attached and replace it from inside the machine if you want to be safer.

[@LOTUSS314]

Mine is buzzing at the electrical outlet plug and shows green light on plug but won’t power to main unit

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Your GFI is bad, you need to replace it. It is either arching internally or it is trying to reset and not achieving it. Either that or some of the resistors or capacitors inside are messed up. If you open up the GFI you'll see it is packed with electronics. Anyone of them could be bad.

[@MrXYZ-uv4gj]

Always check the power cord first. Using a 'Wigi' check the power before the supply and after the supply running the wigi down the cord towards the unit. Sometimes a wire will break inside the cord. From there you would troubleshoot the rest of the unit.

Follow up my second GFCI switch didnt last too long either maybe 1 year used it 5 times and this season dead.These switches are junk all of them the board is a nightmare of cheap electronics. Also dont have to take these units apart first. I know this is your first time but for new viewers just plug it in and remove the small cover and see if you have 110 volts coming out where the two wires connect going to the unit with a multimeter. 90% of the time there will be no voltage coming out...I put a regular two prong male receptacle on mine Im done changing these cheap GFCI protectors Ill take my chances with getting zapped for now on.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

No that's too much trouble and just not safe. Just buy a generic GFI unit rated the same as the one you have currently and splice it in to replace the old one. It's cheap and easy.

You can’t strip with a power tool if you UNSCREW

Sure you can. If the screws are too tight and you hit it with a powerful screwdriver or impact wrench you can easily round off the head. The screws these days are made out of really cheap metal. Too much torque in either direction and you stripped the heads. Then all you have is a stuck screw and no way to grab it.

[@llamacebu216]

I ran through about every electric powerwasher video.. I suggest just cleaning the whole thing. Then open the pump. Careful, oil spilled out on me and it stunk fowl. Even though they're electric, majority still need oil changes. My problem was my machine kept surging. I turned it on and it works. You hit the nozzle button and it fades. So I cleaned the entire pump even with degreaser and wiped everything down. You need to drain the old oil and replace with new. Ryobi there is no easy way to do it so careful of the mess. Some electric PW say no oil necessary which you still do I was using electric powerwash ryobi 1700 (speaking in general, not towards this video)

[@user-xf6ig9ur2y]

I had the same problem. I think there is a high failure rate w/ Ryobi GFIs. I ended up using a 15 A plug and bought a 15 A portable GFI. Suggest that you think a little 1st before tearing everything down. Check your power 1st. Just because the LED is lit doesn't mean there is power, as learned the hard way.
