Why is my Kärcher Pressure Washer not reaching high pressure?
- W
  walshpatriciaJul 28, 2025
  If your Kärcher Pressure Washer isn't reaching high pressure, several factors could be the cause. Ensure that you are using a 5/8 inch or larger garden hose. Check the garden hose for any kinks, leaks, or blockages that may be restricting the water supply. Fully open the water source to ensure adequate inlet water supply. Clean the water inlet filter by removing it and rinsing it in warm water. Lastly, make sure the spray wand is set to the high-pressure position.

Why does the output pressure of my Kärcher Pressure Washer vary?
- S
  smithmichaelAug 1, 2025
  If the output pressure of your Kärcher Pressure Washer varies, it could be due to several reasons. First, make sure there's enough inlet water supply by turning the water on full force and checking the garden hose for kinks, leaks, or blockages. Also, check that hoses and fittings are airtight to prevent the pump from 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 and rinsing it in warm water. Clear any obstructions from the discharge nozzle using a fine needle. Lastly, if the gun, hose, or spray wand is calcified, run distilled vinegar through the detergent suction tube.

What to do if my Kärcher Pressure Washer is not dispensing detergent?
- Z
  Zachary ChapmanAug 10, 2025
  If your Kärcher Pressure Washer is not dispensing detergent, check the detergent suction tube to ensure it's properly connected. If the detergent is too thick, dilute it, preferably using Kärcher detergent for best results. Also, inspect the filter on the detergent suction tube for clogs and rinse with warm water to remove any debris. If the detergent suction tube is damaged or clogged, remove the obstruction or replace the tube. Ensure the spray wand is in the low-pressure position. Finally, check the discharge nozzle for obstructions and clear them with a fine needle.
