Robert Hodge has decades with his.
You'll have to check the nursing homes for the others.

Let's see if we can think tank a solution here.

Adam at some point your going to have to just drive it down. My guys are the guys but trying to fix a machine over the phone is a crap shoot at best. If it doesn't get fixed after 2 tries it is a bring it in. Kinda like trying to take a spot out over the phone 
Hold the phone closer to the spot and I'll be able to tell you what it is

Nothing like best guess, but at least there's a process of elimination!

LOL Going to give him a call later but what Bud and Travys had him do should have fixed it and Adam isn't stupid so if it still has him stumped TW will have to put his hands on it next week.

The problem is this.
After this thing heats up, if you put the wand down for a little bit the pressure starts to climb. It will go from 500 psi to 2000 psi in about 1 min.
I have changed the temp sensors, and the pressure regulator.
I have checked and rechecked everything. .....

Almost everything. .
Is the discharge hose from the regulator getting blocked?

Now that's a problem I haven't had in 6000 hours of running. There is no such step as a bleed down or a bypass for overheating on the Genesis. Could be as simple as greasing the regulator, which I have done already to my Thermalwave Vortec. It did help quiet down the pumping system.
You're looking for Jim Nape of Guarenteed Cleaning 708-390-0593. Jim was the creator of the Genesis and Powerclean line of TM's. If he doesn't know, I don't think anyone would.

On units with either onboard water or a waterbox the discharge from the regulator is plumbed into one of those non-pressurized vessels.
If the discharge loops back to the pump inlet with no relief valve then system heat can build and cause problems too.

No one has a plumbing diagram on the genesis.

Does the machine have last step chemical injection?

If the pressure slowly increases. Then returns to 500psi when you key the wand, I would say it is a problem with the regulator. The return line to the low press side of pump (or to the waterbox) is restricted. On a 405 the regulator has a built in bypass that is basically allowing water to return to waterbox even if the regulator is cranked all the way to the highest psi. It keeps the pressure below 1200 to 1500psi. In your situation I would definitely look at regulator. Take the stem out put some dielectric grease on it.

Justin he mentioned that he changed the regulator. Have you seen this problem even with a new reg?

No. When he says new regulator. Does he mean the entire assembly or just o rings? I actually have a PDF on a 2008 or 9 Genesis. I'll dig it up.

Yup. The service manual pdf I have has nothing.

It is a Freedom 47 and no there is no plumbing diagram

Maybe defective new regulator?

There are several variations of the Freedom, and XT. I still see them on the web, someone has the specs.

Thank you guys for the help. The problem is fixed.
The pressure reg. unloader went bad so I got a new one. I bought the same numbers, same specs, same company made pressure reg. side by side you cant tell any difference at all. Since it was the same pressure reg I assumed it would hook up the same. Unloader coming out the top. After beating myself over the head for several days I tried hooking it up with the unloader coming out the back and it works perfect...........go figure. Same part hooked up two different ways????? I would have never thought.
thanks again
