Pressure Washer Problems - Nothing Comes Out !!

Options
We have been given a Kew Hobby pressure washer.

I've plugged it in, attached the garden hose, switched it on, the motor runs, pressed the trigger and...........NOTHING !

Water in and nothing out !

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Thanks
Thanks to MSE I cleared £37k of debt in five years and I was lucky enough to meet Martin to thank him personally.

    Most electric washers should shut themselves of automatically when they have enough water within themselves and its up to pressure, pressing the trigger should then cause a pressure drop and restart the washer. If yours isnt switching of it may not be getting water thru to itself, blocked filter, inline non return valve (maybe back to front), try these first.
