Burning Smell and Low Pressure

My pressure washer is just over a year old and i noticed a burning smell coming from the motor, no smoke. This has also resulted in a loss of power, which under normal lance is just reduced pressure, but with the tile cleaning head causes it to pulse. I have read and watched lots on pulsating issues, to be fixed via changing the head, but all articles do not mention a burning smell. What do you recommend ?

    If the pressure washer emits a burning smell, the internal parts may have been damaged by a sudden surge of electricity. We would recommend seeking professional advice to check the pressure washer.
