Hello everyone.
I recently bought a cheap electronic pressure washer It’s a Westinghouse epx3500 a 2500 psi 1.76gpm electric power washer.
The thing won’t stay on period, unless I specifically hold down the trigger and keep my hand on the ON button. I’m just wondering why this could be? I’ve seen people use this online with no issue for light duty. Never used it only got it about a day ago btw.
What I did…
Took it out of box put it together
Plugged in high pressure hose into the washer
Plugged garden hose into washer
Turned on water
Plugged in washer and turned it on and it immediately turned itself off and it made this noise and sort of jerked the high pressure hose (did not trip gfci its still getting power)
Held down trigger and turned it on, did the same thing
Held down trigger and held down power button and it worked ? But seeing as I can’t walk around holding down the power button while washing my car that was a bust. Not sure what’s going on with it maybe defective maybe something obvious I’m missing?
