Would you post the model number of the power washer and the pump so we can check to see if there is a IPL available. Start by process of elimination, remove the output hose and see if water goes through, start it and see if the water has any pressure, etc. Have a good one. Geo

$65 because all it needed was cleaning.
I just spent $250 for parts to rebuild my pump & replace the unloader. Repair cost varies greatly on the extent of the problem and the cost of the parts--with parts for higher quality pumps costing more.

Screw sears for wanting more for a replacement pump than some guy wants just for cleaning a tiny valve in it? That doesn't make sense.

That $65 is likely an hourly or minimum charge that a shop nearly has to charge just to survive, especially if they have a store front.
