Nilfisk e145.3 doesnt work at all

The Nilfisk 145.3 worked just fine for about a year before getting in to this state. I had some issues with the service-crew as well, and ended up getting refunded.
So, I do not have a suggestion on how to fix this, Im afraid.
Note:
The first time I turned it on (with no pressure being released), it worked as intended. However on 2nd, 3rd etc try - nothing worked. Let me know if you fixed this in some way - as it was a very good device - except for the issues I had with it.. :-)!

Hi Vegard, from what I see in the video I guess the problem can be with one following item: the capacitor, the main switch on the power washer, or the induction motor itself can be broken. It can be even something else but what I have mentioned above I would personally check first. I do not agree with some comments that Nilfisk is not well-built. I bought a 7-year-old broken Nilfisk E 140.3 (previous owner "used & abused it"). I have fixed all the issues with my power washer (it is practically the same power washer as yours Nilfisk E 145.3 (with the same spare parts list). Up to now, I have recorded on my channel 3 power washers complete tutorials (Nilfisk E 140.3, Nilfisk E 130.1 - sold as Wap by Nilfisk 1350 EU as well, and Karcher HD 5/15 C) for those who are interested. Following my tutorials, you can fix more-less any issue with your power washer yourself. Hope it helps. Regards. A.F.G.

Hi. Thank you for the helpful comment. I bought this pressure washer back in 2009,and it got some serious use. Up until two weeks ago, it began to lose pressure, so I bought the Premium 200 model,which I'm delighted with,but I'll be checking out your channel on how to fix my old one. Thanks.

My father had a different type for 2 years then did this. I just cleaned it out and it worked perfectly. Must maintain your gear to make sure it works for years to come.

First thing is to check the fuse at the consumer unit and if that is OK check the fuse in the plug. I have had a Nilfisk for a couple of years and have absolutely no problem with it. Don't let the frost get to it but that is the same for any pressure washer.

[@trustinflames1022]

Got the same issue with my c120, if I held the trigger down for a few mins it would start up. I swapped out my hose just in case and still got the same issue. Looking to replace it when I get paid at the end of the month.

[@billmoir1]

My C-110 is nearly 14 years old still going strong,guess they don't make them like they used too.

[@f00tyfr33k]

My brand new c120 has also failed right out the box. Alot of returns going on with this problem at the moment across the Nilfisk range.. Unfortunate

[@ChrisPBacon371]

I've had 4 bad ones in a row, return after return, all had the same issue, wouldn't turn on, crazy huh. In the end they were fed up so they sent me a free upgrade C135 and that works well :)

My 2 year old C120 gave up yesterday with the same issue.

[@simondaniell2482]

Yep, exactly the same problem with my C135.1i. Have had it about a year and has not been used that much.

[@AdviceFromGarage]

Hi Daniel, the way how to repair C 135.1 is exactly the same as to fix Nilfisk C 130.1. Here you have a tutorial to fix more-less any issue with your pressure washer. Good luck. S.kzbin.info/aero/PL59Co9iveKeoFN9-liyKgd8zgEQ5d35FO

I think, it is start/stop valve problem - stuck piston or broken, another problem microswitch failure. If not, then motor protection fuse broken. Also need check wirings

Well, it worked for over a year and then all the sudden it became like this, so it was some internal components being flunked, unfortunally :-/

[@RamonVillalba]

Yes, if its working the engine, it will build up pressure, but wont turn on. I have the same issue with c120.
