Why is the output pressure of my Kärcher K 3.450 Pressure Washer varying?
- S

  If the output pressure is fluctuating, first ensure there's enough inlet water supply by turning the water on full force and checking the garden hose for kinks, leaks, or blockages. Also, the pump may be sucking air; verify that all hoses and fittings are airtight. Turn off the machine and purge the pump by squeezing the trigger gun until a steady water flow emerges through the nozzle. A clogged water inlet filter or obstructed discharge nozzle can also cause pressure variations; remove the filter and rinse in warm water, and blow out the nozzle or remove debris with a fine needle. Lastly, if the gun, hose, or spray wand are calcified, run distilled vinegar through the detergent suction tube.

  If your Kärcher Pressure Washer is not dispensing detergent, first check that the detergent suction tube is properly connected to the machine. If the detergent is too thick, dilute it, or use Kärcher® detergent for best results. Clear any clogs in the filter on the detergent suction tube by running warm water through it. Remove any obstructions from or replace the detergent suction tube if it's damaged or clogged. Ensure the spray wand is in the low-pressure position. Lastly, clear any obstructions from the discharge nozzle.

  If your Kärcher Pressure Washer isn't reaching high pressure, start by replacing the garden hose with a 5/8 inch or larger one. Check the garden hose for kinks, leaks, or blockages that may be restricting the water supply. Ensure the water source is fully open to provide enough inlet water. Remove and rinse the water inlet filter in warm water to clear any clogs. Finally, make sure the spray wand is set to the high-pressure position.

  If your Kärcher Pressure Washer motor won't start, first ensure the On/Off switch is in the “ON” (I) position. Next, check that the power cord is properly plugged into a functioning electrical outlet. Try a different outlet to rule out power supply issues. Also, verify that the GFCI plug hasn't tripped by pressing the “RESET” button. Finally, if the circuit breaker has tripped, switch off the pressure washer, and it will reset automatically once the unit's temperature decreases.

  If your Kärcher Pressure Washer isn't reaching high pressure, there are several potential causes. The diameter of your garden hose might be too small; replace it with a 5/8 inch or larger hose. Check the garden hose for kinks, leaks, or blockages that could be restricting the water supply. Ensure that you have enough inlet water supply by opening the water source fully. Also, the water inlet filter may be clogged, remove the filter and rinse it out in warm water. Lastly, make sure the spray wand is set to the high pressure position.

  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.

  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.
