Ғылым және технология
My Sun Joe pressure washer turned on for about 15 seconds then wouldn't spray or start again. Here is how I fixed it.

Other than getting the hose connector turned around (watch out for that one), the machine is simple to put together and use kzread.infoUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP . And very nice, too. I'm surprised at the power-it's more than we'll ever need, and we've not even used the most powerful setting yet.I've cleaned off a dirty concrete porch to get it ready for sealing, started to clean siding, and I know this pressure washer will be terrific for cleaning tools this fall.The only issue we had is we had turned around the hose connector, and it leaked. Once it was on correctly, though, we had no problems with the connection. Just remember that the end with the green knob goes towards the hose. It's obvious now what we did wrong, but not necessarily obvious at the time.
My brother was convinced his SunJoe was broken. After watching your video, I wasn't sure such a simple fix would work, but it did! Many thanks for saving us from buying a new machine!

Absolutely SAME today!!! Thank you!
You saved me a lot of time and money. I watched your walkthrough and figured out the challenge was exactly as you determined. I can't believe stainless steel was not used but that aside amazing knowledge was passed on to others. Best part about the internet. You made the world a better place. Thanks!

I'm glad this helped. thanks for the kind words
I literally messaged with an agent tonight and they said it was just broken. Turned out that when I removed the nozzle, the metal piece stayed on and I hadn't noticed. I watched your video, double checked, noticed the metal piece and that it was in fact rusted like yours, removed it, and the unit started working again. Thank you for saving me a few hundred on a new one!
WoW!!! Thank you for this video!! You saved me from a nervous breakdown. I was so upset it wasn’t going to work after I had prepped everything. Solved it thanks to you!!
My man my Sun Joe wasn't working today,, not only did you help me but I put away the sun joe for the winter with the same nozzle you did. After watching your video and went back outside and looked at the nozzle same as your and rusted like yours , pulled that nozzle off and it fired right up … I was getting ready to send you a check for $10,000 but I felt in my heart you would rather have a like and Sub.
This video was right on target! Exactly what was wrong with my Sun Joe. The nozzle was rusted. Put on a different one and all was well. Thanks so much!!
Just like all the other commenters, this was the exact same problem we had today....within 4 minutes, we were up and running!!! Thank you so much!!!
This is phenomenal info. I tried to use my Sun Joe today and it turned on, and immediately shut off. I took off the nozzle tip to see that it was completely rusted over. Switched out the tip and it’s working like a charm. Now to soak the rusted one in vinegar. Thanks so much this video is a lifesaver
Simple and with good logic - straightforward presentation. Good job!
I'm the latest member of this club...Thanks to this video I looked like a hero to my wife. Thanks so much!
This really helped!! My nozzle was rested and blocked, took care of the problem of it starting and stopping.
Googled SunJoe not starting. This was the first video that came up. It was the exact solution to our problem. THANK YOU
My warranty ran out 9 days ago I was about to consider a new one and had put it in my Amazon cart Then I watched your video. Amazing. Already started cleaning my siding on my house. I’m so glad you made this video
You just saved me 200 bucks. I can't believe after a morning of fighting with this thing, that it never occurred to me to check the friggin nozzle! Thank you so much
My husband was about to sling our power washer over the hill LOL Thank you for this awesome video!!
I read a bunch of comments and see you made a lot of people happy, and I'm one of them too. So, thank-you!
Like most everyone commenting, you saved my butt! I dragged my power washer a few hundred miles to help a relative and it wouldn’t work. I was so frustrated and then I found this video. Just like you said, the nozzle was clogged. Problem solved- my aunt thanks you for getting her deck cleaned up for spring!

You made my day by fixing my pressure washer, thank you!!
You are a lifesaver! I thought I had a 1-year-old piece of junk on my hands! I cleared the old pressure and she spraying again!
Thank you. My daughter and I spent 30 minutes playing around. Found your video and 5 minutes later. We were Power Spraying like bosses.
What a coincidence. I watch your armature radio videos from time to time and you were the first hit on a Sunjoe not working search. Thanks for doing it!
Thank you so much! As soon as I looked at the nozzle I could see the rust.
This was the first video we came across after looking up how to fix our issue and it worked!!!! Great job and thank you!!!!
My Sunhjoe ran for 15 minutes. Couldn't figure it out. Followed this video step-bystep -- clogged hose. Eliminated clog. Fixed! i CAREFULLY cleaned the hose, nozzle, and handle. Thanks SevenFortyOne
THANK YOU! My problem was EXACTLY what you found. I'm so happy I don't need to deal with warranty support.
Thank you for this video! My Sunjoe wouldn’t turn on today. But I found your video and my nozzle was rusted too. I changed it and the washer worked! 😃
WOW- we need more people who have common sense and intelligence to make more of these videos on fixing things! Thanks to you found the video and was pressure washing shortly after! Thought it was the power switch- nope! rusty end! Thanks!
I came back to your video to thank you for fixing my SunJoe but I see I’m not the first one. When I fired up your vid you described my problem exactly and the fix was unbelievably easy. I thank you, my wife thanks you, and the SunJoe, it goes without saying.
Just wanted to say thank you. The yellow nozzle was the culprit. Pressure locked. Bravo sir! 💪
So I had the same problem... two days ago. Funny, but your video was the first that popped up when I googled but I was convinced that mine was an electrical problem. Mucho elbow grease scrubbing the deck that had three years of moss, and a call to Sun Joe (who diagnosed that it was the leaking hose attachment and couldn't wait to get off the phone!) later to troubleshoot and my frustration built. I watched video after video and finally watched your video again because it kept popping up. I still thought it wasn't "your" issue but walked through your very clear and thorough steps. It was indeed that very issue!!!!! Thanks so very much for this post as I so was not looking forward to buying a new pressure washer, especially as I'd only used mine twice!
you are awesome! my electric pressure washer stopped working after two hours of cleaning. This is my third year with it. I tried the manufacturer but no longer exists. was about to throw it out and buy a new one when i thought of you tube! the first helper i watched took the whole thing apart and found the problem. so there i went! all those screws!! put it back together and still didn't work. was really discouraged, about to give up and decided to try one more helper--YOU!! am so happy i found you. changed the nozzle and it works!! saved me $$$ and gave me such a boost! I am a 74 yr old woman who keeps up her own house and love learning to fix things. you tube has made such a difference!!

I'd been experiencing the strange and frustrating pulsating after the unit was away for the winter, and t nj ought something was really wrong with mine. Soaked the nozzle in vinegar for about 10 minutes and Q-tipped it; also poked it from the inside with the sharp end of a corn holder. All's perfect now. THANK YOU for posting this; you've done us a great service.
Totally saved me. I had the same-a rusted nozzle! This is why KZread is AWESOME. :-) Thanks brother!
Thanks, you saved me money. Was trying to find the issue for almost an hour until I have found your video. Didn't even watched the full movie :)
Great Job! I had TWO nozzles that were plugged. Thanks so much for doing this video.
My SJPW conked out, I thought that I had burned out the motor! Your video explained how to troubleshoot the machine and I was able to restore operations and complete the job. TU!
Thank you soo much!! Didn't use mine last summer thinking it was broke..saw your video and now it works!! Rusted nozzle. Your the man! 👊
So simple I didn't think it would work. But it did! Thanks man!
This was exactly the same problem I had, even the same nozzle. Great job, thanks for the video!!!
Thank you so much.! You are brilliant. Ours quit and after buying 2 new pressures hoses, we were considering buying a new pressure washer. I then turned to KZread. I found your video and went out and took off the nozzle and low and behold all gunk all came out of the wand. We turned it on and low and behold....fixed. We will put all of our nozzles in vinegar to clean. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much!! I was very frustrated because I only used the machine for one year, but I forgot to remove the nozzle and it got rust. I had no idea that could be the problem. I clean a little bit with WD-40 to remove the rust and it finally came out, then I put the nozzle in white vinegar and it had a lot of black particles inside. As soon as I cleaned everything it worked right away!! Thanks!!
You are a life saver bro!! My nozzle is rusted 😂. Thanks alot!!!!! Almost toss this washer in the trash lol. 💯
Thank you for sharing this! You helped me fix my pressure washer and am SO relieved!
Thanks for this video. I was stumped about the problem, and cleaning the nozzles did the trick!
A HUGE thank you! This was my exact problem. You logically & clearly broke down each part & found the issue…and so did I!!! Ty for saving me $$ from buying new machine!

You are most welcome! Glad this helped!
The exact same thing happened to me and I skipped to the end and it was just a rusty nozzle! You saved me hours and this pressure washer from the landfill thank you!
Thanks! You just saved me a week's headache and the prospect of "sending it out for repair!" Your video was spot on, and the explanation and demonstration was great. Turns out my rusted nozzle was the issue. That's the problem with these non-constant systems. The use back-pressure to determine if you're squeezing the handle and there's back pressure they don't run the pump until it's alleviated. A clogged has nozzle appears the same to the pump. That's not really that big of a deal because running a pump motor against a static water load isn't going to compress the water (at normal temperatures) and will just overheat the motor.
This video really helped. I had the same problem and thought it was electrical. After watching this video I looked at the tip and sure enough it was clogged. I switched tips and worked as good as ever. Thanks!!!
Wow. Spent an hour fiddling with my Sunjoe then watched this video and felt really stupid. Thanks for posting this. It happens every year. 🤦🏻
You sir are a genius! Who knew something as small as the tip could cause such a big problem!
Thanks! You saved me from many hours of painful trial and error!
Can't thank you enough. Same exact problem. Removed the tip and it works fine. Soaking the tip now. Thanks again.
this vid is still helping people like me 3 year later-thank you!
Thanks so much. We had the same issue and once we removed the nozzle and replaced it, it worked perfectly. Much appreciated and earned a subscription.
Thank you sooo much! This Sunjoe was almost a goner but your video saved it to pressure wash another day and also saved me from having to buy another one. Many many thanks!!!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Changed the nozzel and the problem was solved.
Visiting a friend and his Sunjoe stopped working. This video made me look like a genius in getting it working again.
You’re awesome man! I borrowed this from someone and thought I was going to have to buy them a new one. Thanks!
Thank you. That is exactly what was wrong with my Sun Joe. I was able to fix it watching your video.
Damn! I wish I would have seen this before I bought a new GFCI plug. After the new plug didn't fix the problem, I unscrewed the hose from the washer, pressed the trigger on the gun to let out any pressure, and voila, it worked! My next step was to buy a new pressure washer. At least this video saved me from making that mistake! Thanks!
Thanks , I had the same problem. I was about to order a new washer . Thought I’d just check KZread out first and there you were with the same problem and a logical solution. Many thanks.
Jeff W from Gainesville, Ga. says THANK YOU ! I was about to pack it up for service when I found your channel. You saved me many $$!!!

You just saved me from buying a new pressure washer!!!. It was indeed just the clogged nozzle. Thank you!!!
Thank you sir ! Exactly what happened to me ! I didn’t have to do any of the work you did ... Owe you a dinner and some beers ... lol Much appretiated, your diagnoses and work , for us fellow people !
Thank you thank you thank you! We were just fixing to chuck our Sun Joe when it turns out it was just the tip. Works like a charm now, and we know not to leave the tip on anymore.
Thank you! I'm embarrassed I didn't think of this first. Thank you! You just saved my sanity
After watching about five KZread vids on how to get my Sunjoe 3200 to start after taking it out of winter storage yours was the one that solved my problem in six minutes....found some dirt in the wand.
My neighbor today give me one because didn’t work no more I accept, 30 minutes ago trying to figure out what’s wrong i found this video it was the exactly same problem. Thank you so much for share this video.
I wish I could buy you a beer. First pressure wash of the season and had the exact same issue, I was about to go to Lowes to buy a new one. The nozzle that was on it was completely clogged, works fine now. Thank you.

Thanks. This helped me get my Sun Joe working again!
Dude, this is EXACTLY what the issue was with my PW. Ya have to be careful though, PRESSURE is already built up behind that tip. When mine came off it turned into a projectile! Like popping a champagne cork🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for the video!
Thank you for posting this. You just saved me a ton of aggravation and guess work. I owe you a beer!
OMG! Your video just saved me $150!! I was just about to run n to Home Depot to buy another machine but thought I’d hit up KZread first to see if it as something that I could fix!! Watched your video, pried off the rusted attached nozzle & it started working again!!! Thanks!!!!!

Wow, love youtube and guys like you who post these solutions. The rusted nozzle was what was wrong with mine. I almost decided to get a new washer 😅
Thanx! That saved me for not having to return or junk this thing. Very much appreciate the help!
Thank you, Buddy. Another KZread guy said it was the GFI plug but you were spot on. Going to reference your video.
Thank you! This was exactly my problem. Saved the day!
Thanks. This saved me somewhere between 5 minutes and 5 hours.Either way I’m glad you shared this.
Second year in a row you helped me get it started. Thanks😂
Thanks for this, I thought it was finished. Working great now.
I'm so glad I found your video, I was ready to toss this machine and buy another one ! That nozzle fix WORKED ! Thank you !
Thank you so much! My 15 degree nozzle is also messed up, and I figured it was clogged, wouldn’t have thought of rust. Thanks!
I was so frustrated I was about to buy a gas pressure washer. Thanks to you I just saved $400. Thanks. >subscribed
Thank you for the closed captioning. I need it and I understand why my Sunjoe was not working. I will take a look at it. Thanks!

You just saved my pressure washer. I replaced plug still didn’t work… it was on its way to the dump. Watched your video and checked the nozzle it was clogged which was the problem! Thank you so much.
Thanks for posting this ! A little rust was plugging the nozzle after winter storage . Need to add taking nozzle off the wand to the storage checklist. Left it in the garage last year and the wand broke . Got off lucky . Could have wrecked the machine .
Saved me a trip to the store to buy a new one. Thanks for the tips!
You are the gift that gives! You gave me my power washer back. Thank you, 741!
