Nilfisk keeps blowing fuse 2
Nilfisk pressure washer blowing fuses
There might be a few reasons why a nilfisk pressure washer is blowing fuse.
These are the things you need to check:
- That it is not the extension lead- lead is fully pulled out not wrapped or coiled.
- You are using the correct genuine nilfisk spray handle and nozzle. (No stubby spray handles).
- No leaks – from the spray handle, hose or pump.
- Incorrect mains voltage.
- Make sure there is no aqua stop on garden hose.
If these are not the cause then the capacitor may need replacing or motor is ceased. You can find these on our website:

We also have workshop manuals which can help you with the replacement of your capacitor.
Replace the fuse with a 13A fuse anything lower will blow straight away. Do not replace fuse with anything other than a 13A fuse as this is a health and safety hazard.

My nilfisk140 jet washer keeps tripping the electrics. When you turn it on there is a brief sound of the motor but when you press the trigger on the lance it does not always start the motor. When it eventually starts after a while there is a strange burning smell, not an electrical smell more of a hot water smell but I could be wrong. Anyway shortly after this smell developing the main RCD is tripped in the house. The water is still getting through but obviously the motor has stopped working. I have had the washer for a couple of years now but I assure you it has hardly been used and certainly not over worked
Hi, can you let me know which model 140 you have, either D, E or Core as they have different motors.
Under using your pressure washer can also cause issues. We always recommend using them at least once a month to keep all the seals etc lubricated.
