Why is my Kärcher Pressure Washer output pressure varying?
- J
  Jacob ReevesAug 14, 2025
  If the output pressure of your Kärcher Pressure Washer is fluctuating, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure that there is enough inlet water supply by turning the water on full force and checking the garden hose for any kinks, leaks, or blockages. Also, the pump might be sucking air; check that all hoses and fittings are airtight, and then turn off the machine and purge the pump by squeezing the trigger gun until a steady flow of water emerges through the nozzle. Other potential causes include a clogged water inlet filter (remove and rinse in warm water), an obstructed discharge nozzle (blow out or remove debris with a fine needle), or a calcified gun, hose, or spray wand (run distilled vinegar through the detergent suction tube).

Why doesn't my Kärcher Pressure Washer reach high pressure?

  If your Kärcher Pressure Washer isn't reaching high pressure, several factors could be the cause. First, check the diameter of your garden hose; if it's too small, replace it with a 3/4 inch garden hose. Also, ensure that the water supply isn't restricted by checking the garden hose for kinks, leaks, or blockages. Make sure there's enough inlet water supply by opening the water source fully. A clogged water inlet filter can also cause this issue; remove the filter and rinse it in warm water. Finally, verify that the spray wand is in the high-pressure position.

Why won't my Kärcher K 395 M motor start?
- C
  Chloe BrownAug 21, 2025
  Your Kärcher Pressure Washer motor might not start because the On/Off switch is in the “OFF” (O) position. To resolve this, turn the switch to the “ON” (I) position. Also, check that the power cord is properly plugged in. If you're using an extension cord, ensure it is not too long, is of the proper gauge (a 25 ft. 12/3 gauge cord or a 50 ft. 10/3 gauge cord), and is not damaged. Try a different electrical outlet to rule out inadequate power supply. Finally, reset the circuit breaker or ground fault circuit interrupter in case it has tripped.

What to do if my Kärcher K 395 M has no detergent?

  If your Kärcher Pressure Washer is not dispensing detergent, start by checking the detergent suction tube connection to the machine. If the connection is fine, the detergent might be too thick; dilute it, or for best results, use Kärcher detergent. Other potential issues include a clogged filter on the detergent suction tube (run warm water through it to remove debris), a damaged or clogged detergent suction tube (remove the obstruction or replace the tube), the spray wand being in the high-pressure position (turn the spray wand tip to the low-pressure position), or an obstructed discharge nozzle (blow out or remove debris with a fine needle).

Why is my Kärcher K 395 M Pressure Washer pump noisy?
- J
  James SweeneyAug 27, 2025
  A noisy pump in your Kärcher Pressure Washer could indicate that the pump is sucking air. Check that all 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.

  If the garden hose connection on your Kärcher Pressure Washer is leaking, first check for loose fittings and tighten them. If the leak persists, inspect the rubber washer; a missing or worn washer should be replaced with a new one.

  If your Kärcher Pressure Washer spray wand is leaking, first ensure that the spray wand is properly attached. Insert the spray wand into the trigger gun, carefully press it in against the spring tension, and twist it into the locked position. If the issue continues, it may be due to a broken o-ring or plastic insert, call Kärcher customer service hotline and order repair kit (part no. 2.883-111.0).
