How to fix a Kärcher K 2.16 Pressure Washer when the motor won't start?
If your Kärcher Pressure Washer motor won't start, here's what you can check: First, ensure the On/Off switch is in the “ON” (I) position. Then, check the GFCI plug and press the “RESET” button. Make sure the power cord is properly plugged in. Finally, try a different electrical outlet to rule out power supply issues.
Why is my Kärcher K 2.16 not reaching high pressure?
If your Kärcher Pressure Washer isn't reaching high pressure, several factors could be the cause. Ensure that you are using a 5/8 inch or larger garden hose. Check the garden hose for any kinks, leaks, or blockages that may be restricting the water supply. Fully open the water source to ensure adequate inlet water supply. Clean the water inlet filter by removing it and rinsing it in warm water. Lastly, make sure the spray wand is set to the high-pressure position.
What to do if my Kärcher K 2.16 is not dispensing detergent?
If your Kärcher Pressure Washer is not dispensing detergent, check the detergent suction tube to ensure it's properly connected. If the detergent is too thick, dilute it, preferably using Kärcher detergent for best results. Also, inspect the filter on the detergent suction tube for clogs and rinse with warm water to remove any 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. Finally, check the discharge nozzle for obstructions and clear them with a fine needle.
Why does the output pressure of my Kärcher Pressure Washer vary?
If the output pressure of your Kärcher Pressure Washer varies, it could be due to several reasons. First, make sure there's enough inlet water supply by turning the water on full force and checking the garden hose for kinks, leaks, or blockages. Also, check that hoses and fittings are airtight to prevent the pump from sucking air; turn off the machine and purge the pump by squeezing the trigger gun until a steady flow of water emerges through the nozzle. Clean the water inlet filter by removing and rinsing it in warm water. Clear any obstructions from the discharge nozzle using a fine needle. Lastly, if the gun, hose, or spray wand is calcified, run distilled vinegar through the detergent suction tube.
