Ridgid Pressure washer leaking water
If your Ridgid pressure washer is leaking water, the pump assembly is the most likely source, especially on a machine that is several years old or used often. Worn pump seals can allow water to escape from the pump, while a newer or lightly used unit may only need a pump rebuild instead of a complete pump assembly replacement. A damaged pump, pump head, manifold, o-rings, or other internal pump parts can also cause a pressure washer leaking from the bottom or leaking water from inside. Another possibility is the thermal release valve. This valve may release hot water during normal operation if the pressure washer is left running without spraying, allowing water in the pump to overheat. Turn off the machine and water supply before inspecting it, and check the pump, seals, fittings, and thermal release valve for damage. Whether your Ridgid pressure washer is leaking water from the pump or elsewhere, enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific pressure washer.
01 - Ridgid Pressure Washer Pump Assembly
You may need to rebuild or replace the pump assembly. If the pump is more than a few years old, and you use the pressure washer fairly often, replace the pump assembly. If the pump is relatively new, and you don’t use the pressure washer often, either rebuild the pump assembly or replace the pump seals.

03 - Ridgid 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.
