Why is my Kärcher Pressure Washer not reaching high pressure?
- J
  Jason EllisAug 15, 2025
  If your Kärcher Pressure Washer isn't reaching high pressure, start by replacing your garden hose with a 3/4 inch one. Check the hose for any kinks, leaks, or blockages that might be restricting the water supply. Make sure the water source is fully open. Clean the water inlet filter by removing it and rinsing it in warm water. Lastly, ensure the spray wand is set to the high-pressure position.

What to do if the output pressure varies high and low on a Kärcher K 1.302 Pressure Washer?
- C
  Colin HaydenAug 19, 2025
  To address fluctuating output pressure in your Kärcher Pressure Washer, first, ensure the water is turned on full force and check for kinks, leaks, or blockages in the garden hose. If the pump is sucking air, inspect the hoses and fittings to ensure they are airtight. Turn off the machine and purge the pump by squeezing the trigger gun until a steady water flow emerges through the nozzle. Also, clean the water inlet filter by removing and rinsing it in warm water. If the discharge nozzle is obstructed, clear any debris with a fine needle. For a calcified gun, hose, or spray wand, run distilled vinegar through the detergent suction tube.

How to fix a Kärcher K 1.302 when the motor will not start?

  If your Kärcher Pressure Washer motor won't start, first ensure the On/Off switch is in the “ON” position. Then, check if the power cord is properly plugged in. If you're using an extension cord, make sure it's not too long or damaged; replace it with a 25 ft. 12/2 gauge or a 50 ft. 10/2 gauge cord. Try a different electrical outlet to rule out power supply issues. Finally, reset the circuit breaker or ground fault circuit interrupter in case it has tripped.

Why is my Kärcher K 1.302 not dispensing detergent?
- S
  Stephanie OrtizAug 26, 2025
  If your Kärcher Pressure Washer isn't dispensing detergent, start by checking the detergent suction tube connection to the machine. If the detergent is too thick, dilute it, or use Kärcher detergent for best results. Clean the filter on the detergent suction tube by running warm water through it to remove debris. If the detergent suction tube is damaged or clogged, remove the obstruction or replace the tube. Ensure the spray wand is in the low-pressure position. Lastly, clear any obstructions from the discharge nozzle with a fine needle.

Why is my Kärcher Pressure Washer pump noisy?
- S
  Shannon MonroeAug 29, 2025
  If your Kärcher Pressure Washer pump is making unusual noises, it might be sucking in air. Check that all hoses and fittings are airtight. You can also try turning off the machine and purging the pump by squeezing the trigger gun until water flows steadily through the nozzle.

- U
  uwalkerSep 4, 2025
  If your Kärcher Pressure Washer's spray wand or extension is leaking, ensure the spray wand is correctly attached by inserting it into the gun, pressing it against the spring tension, and twisting it into the locked position. If the issue continues, the o-ring or plastic insert may be broken.

Why is my Kärcher Pressure Washer leaking water from the pump?
- M
  Michael MatthewsSep 7, 2025
  If water is leaking from the pump of your Kärcher Pressure Washer (up to 10 drops per minute is permissible), make sure all fittings are tight. If the leak persists, the water seals may be damaged or worn.
