High-pressure washer starts but no water comes out? Here’s how to fix it

Sometimes, your Husqvarna high-pressure washer may start normally but fail to release water. This issue is usually caused by water supply problems, a dirty filter or a blocked nozzle.

Here is how to troubleshoot and fix it:

No water supply

• Before starting the product, always bleed the system to remove trapped air.
• If no water is coming out, turn the wash OFF immediately to prevent pump damage.
• Check that the water inlet is properly connected to a water supply.
• If it’s not connected, attach it securely and restart.

Blocked water filter

• The water filter prevents dirt and debris from entering your washer.
• Over time, it can become clogged and stop water flow.

Solution

1. Turn off and disconnect the washer from the water source.
2. Remove the water filter from the inlet.
3. Rinse it thoroughly under clean running water.
4. If the filter is damaged or broken, replace it before using the washer again.

Blocked nozzle

• A clogged nozzle can also stop water from coming out.

Solution

1. Turn off the washer and disconnect it from power and water.
2. Remove the nozzle from the spray lance.
3. Use a nozzle cleaning tool or fine wire to clear debris.
4. Rise the nozzle with clean water and reattach.
