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

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!
Other than getting the hose connector turned around (watch out for that one), the machine is simple to put together and use th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP . 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!
THANK YOU, this got my pressure washer working in seconds!!
Thanks! You saved me from many hours of painful trial and error!
Visiting a friend and his Sunjoe stopped working. This video made me look like a genius in getting it working again.
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
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
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.
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!!!
I was about to buy another more expensive washer until i found this today within 3mins or so FIXED! Thank you.
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!!
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.
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
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 $$$ and gave me such a boost! I am a 74 yr old woman who keeps up her own house and love learning to fix things. you tube has made such a difference!!
Awesome! Glad this helped!
Thank you for this video! My Sunjoe wouldn’t turn on today. But I found your video and my nozzle was rusted too. I changed it and the washer worked! 😃
So I had the same problem... two days ago. Funny, but your video was the first that popped up when I googled but I was convinced that mine was an electrical problem. Mucho elbow grease scrubbing the deck that had three years of moss, and a call to Sun Joe (who diagnosed that it was the leaking hose attachment and couldn't wait to get off the phone!) later to troubleshoot and my frustration built. I watched video after video and finally watched your video again because it kept popping up. I still thought it wasn't "your" issue but walked through your very clear and thorough steps. It was indeed that very issue!!!!! Thanks so very much for this post as I so was not looking forward to buying a new pressure washer, especially as I'd only used mine twice!
Like most everyone commenting, you saved my butt! I dragged my power washer a few hundred miles to help a relative and it wouldn’t work. I was so frustrated and then I found this video. Just like you said, the nozzle was clogged. Problem solved- my aunt thanks you for getting her deck cleaned up for spring!
Awesome 👍
A HUGE thank you! This was my exact problem. You logically & clearly broke down each part & found the issue…and so did I!!! Ty for saving me $$ from buying new machine!
You are most welcome! Glad this helped!
THANK YOU! My problem was EXACTLY what you found. I'm so happy I don't need to deal with warranty support.
Thanks sir!! I had the exact same issue! Pressure washer now works again!
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!!
My husband was about to sling our power washer over the hill LOL
Thank you for this awesome video!!
I'm the latest member of this club...Thanks to this video I looked like a hero to my wife. Thanks so much!
You just saved me from buying a new pressure washer!!!. It was indeed just the clogged nozzle.
Thank you!!!
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 $$!!!
Glad to hear this!
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
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!
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 TH-cam 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!!!!!
Cool!
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!!!
Googled SunJoe not starting. This was the first video that came up. It was the exact solution to our problem. THANK YOU
This was the first video we came across after looking up how to fix our issue and it worked!!!! Great job and thank you!!!!
Simple and with good logic - straightforward presentation. Good job!
Thank you. My daughter and I spent 30 minutes playing around. Found your video and 5 minutes later. We were Power Spraying like bosses.
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!!
I thought my machine was broke. This video saved me from buying a new one. Thanks!
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!
Just wanted to say thank you. The yellow nozzle was the culprit. Pressure locked. Bravo sir! 💪
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
same here, you made my day. i had the same issue with the same yellow nozzle i use the most. followed your steps and it works!
You are a life saver bro!! My nozzle is rusted 😂. Thanks alot!!!!! Almost toss this washer in the trash lol. 💯
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!!!
Awesome 👍
You made my day by fixing my pressure washer, 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.
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!
I was so frustrated I was about to buy a gas pressure washer. Thanks to you I just saved $400. Thanks. >subscribed
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 TH-cam. 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.
Glad you got yours fixed!
Thanks , I had the same problem. I was about to order a new washer . Thought I’d just check TH-cam out first and there you were with the same problem and a logical solution. Many 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.
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! 👊
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!
Can't thank you enough. Same exact problem. Removed the tip and it works fine. Soaking the tip now. Thanks again.
Totally saved me. I had the same-a rusted nozzle! This is why TH-cam is AWESOME. :-) Thanks brother!
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.
Another thank you comment, I had already replaced the GFI plug, thinking that was my problem. Then it still didn’t work, but you’re right the 15 degree nozzle was rusted over, replaced it with the 25 degree, works like a charm. Thank you, thank you
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.
Glad to hear it
Thank you so much! As soon as I looked at the nozzle I could see the rust.
Thank you so much! This absolutely worked and saved me from buying another pressure washer in my frustration
So glad I found your video. Same problem and I would not have thought the issue could be a rusted nozzle. Thank you! I still have an issue with some leaking at the hose connection and/or connector to stem on unit, even after replacing the original plastic connector with a brass one. If you happen to have a suggestion for that I would be very interested.
Wow. Spent an hour fiddling with my Sunjoe then watched this video and felt really stupid. Thanks for posting this. It happens every year. 🤦🏻
Thank you for sharing this! You helped me fix my pressure washer and am SO relieved!
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Changed the nozzel and the problem was solved.
Thank you so much for making this! I was about to trash my machine when I found your video. Works good as new now. Cheers!
this vid is still helping people like me 3 year later-thank you!
You’re awesome man! I borrowed this from someone and thought I was going to have to buy them a new one. Thanks!
You're my hero. Switching tips is all it took.
You deserve a gold medal for this video.
Thanks!
Awesome video. Fixed mine 30 seconds after watching this
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 !
Also a failure point is the GFI which rusts out. Replace: $15.
So simple I didn't think it would work. But it did! Thanks man!
This was very helpful, thank you. The troubleshooting guide in the owner's manual mentions nothing about this. It says to change the fuse, and then doesn't say how to do that. I came here looking for just that when I came across this video. I changed the nozzle and, voila! It worked. I had left a nozzle on over the winter and it rusted over. Only problem is... there was so much pressure built up in the hose that when I released the nozzle it shot off like a bullet and I never found it! Good thing I had the good sense to point it away from me... I definitely could've lost an eye! Thanks again.
After watching about five TH-cam 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.
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!
Great Job! I had TWO nozzles that were plugged. Thanks so much for doing this video.
Thank you, my man your video solved my problem for two seasons. I wasn’t able to use my son Joe.
I assumed my pressure washer was toast but Googled the problem, top hit was this video, bingo, pressure working again five minutes later. Thanks!
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.
You saved our lives haha!! Thank you!
Yup you saved me tons of time! My nozzle that was left on last Fall had rusted just like yours. Thank you for all the tips!
Cool! Glad this helped!
April 2022, I was just about to throw mine away. My problem was the nozzle was block by rust. Thanks for that video, truly appreciated. Marc
SAVED MY BACON!! I was so frustrated I almost coded!! Thank you good sir!!
Thanx! That saved me for not having to return or junk this thing. Very much appreciate the help!
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!
... thank you sooooo much. You saved a lot of cursing and high blood pressure ..
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!
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 have the exact same unit, the exact same nozzle, and the exact same story about putting it away working but now broken. Would only run for a second or two. I watched this video, thought no way I have some kind of thermal fuse / electrical problem, However 100% this was the fix! You were right.Thank you!
Thank you very much I had the same issue and was able to resolve quickly
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 :)
I'm going to be getting my Sun Joe pressure washer out within the next couple weeks, I will keep this in mind if I have any issues. Thumb's up!
I can't believe this was my fix too! Thanks for this video! Saved me from having to buy the neighbor a new one.
Thank you so much for showing us how to fix problems with the sunjoe. I had the same problem and could not come up with a solution. You clearly explained what the problem was and I had it back at work within 10 minutes. Thank you thank you thank you.
I'm glad this helped!
Thanks! Nozzle was exact the problem. I was about to purchase another powerwasher!!!! Thanks a million!
Your 4-minute video made me a hero today. Thanks for that!
Awesome - I'm glad you got something out of this!
This really helped!! My nozzle was rested and blocked, took care of the problem of it starting and stopping.
HO LEE CRAP. Thank you so much. First warm weekend in 2023 for me and I almost broke down myself thinking my pressure washer was broken. Glad this is the first video I came across
Thank you for posting this. You just saved me a ton of aggravation and guess work. I owe you a beer!
Thank you! I'm embarrassed I didn't think of this first. Thank you! You just saved my sanity
Thank you Sir, worth a Super Thanks!
Thank you very much!!!
