Burner Keeps Stoping on my Shark SSG PW

I have a Shark Hot Water Pressure Washer and on my burner control module it keeps poping that white button out and kicking the burner off.

What's causing this?

Also my ignition when turning it off does not turn off the machine I have to pull the choke out or pull the spark plug wires off to kill it. I am pretty sure it just needs a new ignition switch but I would like for someone to confirm this first.

Thanks
 
I was told if it is in the weather to much it will cause this. Mine was doing the same thing even tarped. Now I park the trailer inside and it hasn't happened.
 
Is it 12 volt? Does the engine key start ok? How long does the white button take to pop out? Either you've got a low voltage problem, one of your burner components is getting ready to crap on you, the fuel pump is stiff due to moisture in your fuel, or the breaker (white button) is going bad.

Yes it is a 12 volt system. The engine key does work to start it.

The white button doesn't usually pop out until about 20 min into using the machine. The white button thing was a problem a few months before the ignition switch having problems.
