What happens here

The presenter attempts to use his Powerstroke 2000 PSI electric pressure washer, but it fails to operate. He investigates and discovers that a small U-clip, which acts as an actuator for the pump's motor, is loose. He re-secures the piece and performs a quick test, confirming the pressure washer is now functional. He uses a random piece of wire found on the ground as a temporary fix to hold the actuator in place.

Goal: Repair a malfunctioning pressure washer to restore its functionality.

Tools and materials

  • Piece of Wire — Temporarily securing the actuator
  • Powerstroke Electric Pressure Washer — The device being repaired and subsequently used for washing
  • U-clip — The small clip that engages the pump motor
