How to fix a Kärcher Pressure Washer when the motor will not start?
- K
  Kimberly TaylorAug 15, 2025
  If the motor of your Kärcher Pressure Washer won't start, make sure the On/Off switch is in the “ON” (I) position. Check that the power cord is properly plugged into an electrical outlet that supplies adequate power, trying a different outlet if necessary. 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 to allow it to reset automatically once the unit's temperature drops.

Why is my Kärcher Pressure Washer not reaching high pressure?
- D
  Donald HurstAug 18, 2025
  If your Kärcher Pressure Washer isn't reaching high pressure, first, ensure that you are using a garden hose with a diameter of 16 mm (5/8 inch) or larger. Then, check the garden hose for any kinks, leaks, or blockages that may be restricting the water supply. Make sure the water source is fully open to provide enough inlet water. 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.

Why is my Kärcher K 4 Premium Pressure Washer not dispensing detergent?

  Katie AlvaradoAug 21, 2025
  If your Kärcher Pressure Washer is not dispensing detergent, start by checking that the detergent siphon 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 siphon tube by running warm water through it. If the detergent siphon tube is damaged or clogged, remove the obstruction or replace the tube. Ensure the spray wand is in the low-pressure position. Also, make sure the discharge nozzle isn't obstructed; if it is, blow it out or remove debris with a fine needle.

Why does the output pressure of my Kärcher K 4 Premium Pressure Washer vary?
- A
  Antonio KaiserAug 26, 2025
  If the output pressure of your Kärcher Pressure Washer varies, make sure the water is turned on full force and check the garden hose for kinks, leaks, or blockages. Inspect the hoses and fittings to ensure they are airtight, and if the pump is 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 it and rinsing it in warm water. Clear any obstructions from the discharge nozzle. If the gun, hose, or spray wand is calcified, run distilled vinegar through the detergent suction tube.
