Snapper Pressure washer leaking water
Is your Snapper pressure washer leaking water? The pump assembly is the most likely source. A worn pump assembly can develop internal leaks, especially when the pump is more than a few years old and used often. In that case, replacing the pump assembly is usually the practical repair. If the pump is relatively new or used only occasionally, you may be able to rebuild it by replacing the pump seals. A damaged pump, pump seals, or related gaskets can cause a pressure washer leaking from the pump or leaking water from inside the housing. The next likely cause is the pump itself, which may need to be rebuilt or replaced based on its age and condition. Water may also come from the thermal relief valve during normal operation. If the pressure washer is left running while you are not spraying, water inside the pump heats up and the thermal relief valve opens to release it. Shut the machine off when not spraying. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement pump assembly, pump, seals, or thermal relief valve for your Snapper pressure washer.

03 - Snapper Pressure Washer Thermal Release Valve
The leak could be due to the normal operation of the thermal release valve. The thermal release valve allows hot water to exit the pressure washer if the water temperature becomes excessively high. If the pressure washer is left running while it is not spraying water, the water in the pump will begin to heat up. When the water temperature rises above the acceptable limit, the thermal release valve opens to allow the hot water to exit the pressure washer.
