What to do if the main burner won’t come on in my Kärcher Pressure Washer?
- BBrenda RiceAug 21, 2025
If the main burner of your Kärcher Pressure Washer won’t come on even though the pilot light is lit, several issues could be the cause. Begin by testing the wiring for any faults. A low pilot flame can prevent the main burner from igniting, so check the inlet pressure and pilot orifice. Make sure the sensor is properly aligned in the pilot flame; adjust if necessary. A faulty main gas operator in the gas control could also be the culprit, so test the gas valve and repair or replace it. Finally, a faulty flame sensor can cause this issue, so test the sensor and wiring, repairing or replacing as needed.
