    I have a Nilfisk C120.6-6 since 2013 and it had served me very well until last weekend.


    It's been lightly used in the past few years. Last weekend, I turned it on and nothing happened. When I activate the lance, a dribble of water comes out, but the pump doesn't activate.


    Anything I can do or is it likely done? Does anyone repair?

    I'd check the fuse in the plug first

    I have a c120 that I picked up as recommended by the bargain alerts forum. I had similar issue and was so bad I didn’t know if it was switch on or not. Pressure did come, but after what felt like ages. Have gotten 2 more years like it with this. Found after the initial wait, it kicks in quicker if stopped for moving around.

    Probably an airlock….turn on the water and turn it on and leave run for 5 mins… the dribble of water will get stronger and spit as the air gets pushed out and once it does it should start working again and the motor will kick in
