Why won't my Kärcher Pressure Washer motor start?
- C
  Christopher GarrettAug 15, 2025
  If your Kärcher Pressure Washer motor won't start, first ensure the On/Off switch is in the “ON” (I) position. If it still doesn't start, check that the power cord is properly plugged in and that the electrical outlet supplies adequate power by trying a different outlet. Also, the circuit breaker might be tripped. In that case, switch off the pressure washer; the GFCI will reset once the unit's temperature drops.

  To address low pressure in your Kärcher Pressure Washer, first, ensure you are using a 5/8 inch or larger garden hose. Then, check the garden hose for any kinks, leaks, or blockages that might be restricting the water supply. Next, make sure the water source is fully open. Clean the water inlet filter by removing it and rinsing it in warm water. Finally, verify that 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 kinks, leaks, or blockages. Also, the pump might be sucking air; check that hoses and fittings are airtight, then 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 obstruction from the discharge nozzle using a fine needle. If the gun, hose, or spray wand is calcified, run distilled vinegar through the detergent suction tube.

Why is my Kärcher K 3.99M Pressure Washer not dispensing detergent?

  If your Kärcher Pressure Washer isn't dispensing detergent, start by checking that the detergent suction tube is properly connected to the machine. If connected, the detergent might be too thick; dilute it, preferably using Kärcher detergent for best results. Also, the filter on the detergent suction tube might be clogged, so run warm water through it to remove any debris. If the suction tube is damaged or clogged, remove the obstruction or replace the tube. Ensure the spray wand is in the low-pressure position. Lastly, make sure the discharge nozzle isn't obstructed by blowing it out or removing debris with a fine needle.
