Why Greenworks Pressure Washer Soap Dispenser Not Working
No Soap in the Tank
The most common reason for a is that there is no soap in the tank. Make sure that the tank is filled with soap before using the dispenser.
Clogged Soap Nozzle
Another common reason for a is a clogged soap nozzle. The soap nozzle can become clogged with soap residue or dirt, which prevents the soap from flowing out of the nozzle. To clean the soap nozzle, remove it from the pressure washer and soak it in a vinegar solution for a few minutes. Then, rinse the nozzle with water and reattach it to the pressure washer.
Faulty Soap Dispenser
In some cases, the soap dispenser itself may be faulty. If the dispenser is not dispensing soap even when there is soap in the tank and the soap nozzle is not clogged, the dispenser may need to be replaced.
