Latched Electric Pressure Washer Revived

I have a snap-on electric pressure washer that I've owned since 2004 and I'm having intermittent problems starting and breaker burnout. I took it apart to inspect and saw that it had a condenser which I thought should help run it like my heater and air conditioner. I replaced the condenser in these for the same reason they wouldn't start, so I decided to try it on my pressure washer. The pressure washer condenser had information printed on it that I could compare to this one. as a possible replacement, since all properties matched. Since the condenser was pretty cheap I decided to give it a try before going out and buying a new pressure washer. Swapping it out for a new one was easy, and once I assembled the unit, I plugged it in and it sprang to life. I tested that it still works and was able to wash 2 cars with no problem. This part saved me from buying a new pressure washer and sending another item to the landfill. Fair warning if you've never changed a capacitor before. Be sure to discharge them by disconnecting power and grounding all leads from the capacitor to each output with an insulated screwdriver. A charged capacitor contains a lot of energy, and you don't want to accidentally discharge it by touching it to your body.

Pros
  • HQRPยฎ CD60 Replacement Engine Start Capacitor;
Cons
  • Something else
