Just bought this in the summer and used once and has been sitting in the shed since. Went to use it today and not much power in it.

Just a quick Google search now once I got a min to sit down, I think it's air locked. If it's this, does anyone know how I bleed it out in this type washer.

Or could it be something else?.

You want water running through the lance before you power on.

Even better to have water flowing though lance at the point of switching on. This prevents air lock.

Other problem is the water freezing inside machine if stored in outbuilding. That will kill it

I did have a try before the cold weather came so it's definitely an air lock. I know you saying running water through it and having water through before switching on prevents it, but how can I get the air out that's in there.

After Googling, I did come across about it freezing too . Hopefully that hasn't damaged it too. What damage can the ice cause?
