  If your Kärcher Water Pump stops running or suddenly halts, here's what to check: 1. **Power Supply:** Make sure that fuses and electrical connections are working. 2. **Overheating:** The pump may have overheated and the thermal protection switch turned it off. Disconnect the mains plug, allow the pump to cool, and clean the suction area. Also, make sure to prevent dry running in the future. 3. **Blockage:** Dirt particles might be clogging the suction area. Disconnect the mains plug and thoroughly clean the suction area.

Why is my Kärcher Water Pump running but not pumping water?

  If your Kärcher Water Pump is running but not pumping water, consider the following: * **Air in the pump:** Try plugging and unplugging the pump's mains plug a few times to help the fluid get sucked in. * **Blocked Suction Area:** Disconnect the mains plug and clean the suction area to remove any obstructions. * **Low Water Level:** Ensure the pump is sufficiently immersed in the liquid, deeper than the minimum water level.
