K.E.W Service & Repair Forum

I am trying to refurbish a kew 1502v-66 power washer. I cannot get the oil fired burner to kick on. The control panel has a digital temp gauge and it shows the temperature of the water at its maximum value when the water is cold. I am in question if this is the problem with the burner not firing. I am interested in any electrical diagrams, service manuals, or tech suggestions that you have. Thanks, Josh.

At the bottom it says \"BAR\". If your information plate says 62 BAR as mine does then acceptable pressure is between …...
