Hi all, my first here, im so glad I found this site and I hope someone can help me here.
I have a craftsman pressure washer that is leaking from a port(?) on the pump manifold. I have taken the relief valve out and it seems fine. The problem is that this looks nothing like what is pictured on a diagram of the pump, it is not threaded on the inside, so I’m very confused.
The water shoots out as soon as I turn the faucet on and only stops when I have the trigger on the wand engaged, and shoots out again as soon as I release it. Could this be caused by the o rings on the pump, or just a faulty manifold? Pictured is where the water is shooting out.
This website is primarily geared to professional machines but maybe someone can figure this out regardless.
I read that after I joined and posted, my apologies. I figured I had nothing to lose by leaving my question up, but I will understand if I’m asked to remove it.
Thanks
I don’t think anyone will ask you to take down your post. Just understand that there may not be a lot of activity on your post as those styles pumps are not what 99% of people on this forum are running.
I would try AllPartsInc website and you may have to punch in the model of the whole pressure washer (usually on the cart), but you may be able to just look up the pump that way.
that hole is where your thermal relief valve was. seems it broke off.
No, thats on the other side and water would not go through there during the bleeding process because the motor isn’t running to build pressure. But thank you.
This is what had me confused, my pump is older and doesn’t have the chemical injection port. Regardless, im sure i need the diaphram at minimum which pretty much answer my question. Thanks!
Thank you, I think I have my answer, is there a way to close the discussion?
Nope, it will sit here for eternity.
