As soon as I plug it in, it trips before turning it on. Every time I push reset, it trips. After replacing the GFCI plug, on the cord, it worked perfectly from the start. I used it once for about 45 min. That was weekend before last. Last weekend it wanted to act up again. I’ve been on 3rd...

I can guarantee that the replacement plug had NO water intrusion the one and only time I used it. I was approx. 20 ft away AND around the corner when I was using the washer.

This was the exact plug that was originally on it.

Nope, just a black wire and a white wire. This washer is double insulated (but that’s above my realm of understanding.)

Just the GFCI on the cord of the washer.

That’s what I just replaced. Work fine initially. The next weekend it was giving me the same problems.

Just the GFCI on the washer. It worked perfect initially after replacing the GFCI plug. The following weekend it started the same issues as before.

Thanks. I should probably just buy one as well, but I just feel the need to figure this out.

Not all of the plugs that I’m trying the washer on are GFCI...to my knowledge. Some are in the garage, some in the house, and some outside. I’ve tried about 5 different plugs in different areas of the house. Other tools work just fine on the same plugs that I’m trying; drill, circular saw...

I have a Campbell Hausfeld 1600 psi pressure washer that kept immediately tripping the GFCI when I plugged it in. (This is two wire, and double-insulated insulated. Not that that means anything to me.) I went to multiple plugs around the house, inside and out. Each time it had the same results...
