  Jessica ClarkSep 4, 2025
  If your Kärcher Pressure Washer motor won't start, there are several possible reasons. First, ensure the On/Off switch is in the “ON” (I) position. Check that the power cord is properly plugged into the outlet. Try a different electrical outlet to rule out power supply issues. Also, check the GFCI plug and press the “RESET” button. Finally, if the circuit breaker has tripped, switch off the pressure washer; it will automatically reset once the unit's temperature drops.

Why doesn't my Kärcher K 3.450 reach high pressure?

  Katie HayesAug 25, 2025
  If your pressure washer isn't reaching high pressure, it might be due to a few reasons. Ensure the diameter of the garden hose is adequate; replace it with a 16 mm (5/8 inch) or larger hose if it's too small. Check for any restrictions in the water supply, such as kinks, leaks, or blockages in the garden hose. Make sure there is enough inlet water supply by opening the water source fully. A clogged water inlet filter can also be the cause; remove it and rinse it in warm water. Lastly, verify that the spray wand is set to the high pressure position.

What to do if Kärcher K 3.450 Pressure Washer output pressure varies high and low?

  Matthew CarlsonAug 26, 2025
  If the output pressure of your Kärcher Pressure Washer varies, ensure that the water is turned on full force and check the garden hose for any kinks, leaks, or blockages that may be restricting water supply. Another possible cause is that the pump is sucking air. To resolve this, check that all hoses and fittings are airtight. Turn off the machine and purge the pump by squeezing the trigger gun until a steady flow of water emerges through the nozzle. Also, the water inlet filter may be clogged, remove it and rinse in warm water. Lastly, the discharge nozzle could be obstructed, blow it out or remove any debris with a fine needle. A calcified gun, hose, or spray wand can also cause this issue; if this is the case, run distilled vinegar through the detergent suction tube.
