Why is the water temperature low on my Kärcher Pressure Washer?

  If your Kärcher Pressure Washer has low water temperature, the issue could stem from several factors related to fuel. It might be due to improper fuel or water in the fuel, in which case you should drain the fuel tank and replace it with the correct fuel. Low fuel pressure could also be the cause, so increase the fuel pressure. A weak fuel pump might be the problem; check the fuel pump temperature and replace the pump if needed. Additionally, a partially clogged fuel filter could be restricting flow, so replace it as needed. Soot build-up on the coils or lime build-up on coils can also cause low water temperature. Clean the coils with soot remover or use a coil cleaner inside of coils. Finally, ensure that the burner nozzle is correct by referring to the Burner Specifications.

  Low operating pressure in your Kärcher Pressure Washer can stem from several causes. It could be due to a faulty pressure gauge, in which case you should install a new gauge. Other potential causes include an insufficient water supply (use a larger garden hose and clean the filter washer at the water inlet), an old or incorrect spray nozzle (match the nozzle number to the machine or replace it), a plumbing or hose leak (check for leaks and retape with Teflon tape), a faulty or mis-adjusted unloader valve (adjust the unloader or install a repair kit), worn packing in the pump (install a new packing kit), or fouled inlet or discharge valves in the pump (clean the valves) or worn inlet or discharge valves (replace with valve kit).

What to do if Kärcher HDS 3.9/20 Ea Cage pump is running but pressure is low?

  If your Kärcher Pressure Washer pump is running normally but the pressure is low on installation, it could be due to several reasons. The pump might be sucking air, so check the water supply for air seepage. The valves could be sticking, requiring cleaning or replacement. A faulty unloader valve seat could also be the cause, so check and replace if necessary. Additionally, the nozzle might be incorrectly sized, so check and replace it with the proper size according to the serial plate. Finally, worn piston packing could be the issue, so check and replace it if necessary.
