How to troubleshoot a Kärcher Pressure Washer that won't start?
- KKristen WilsonAug 13, 2025
If your Kärcher Pressure Washer motor won't start, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the power cord is properly plugged in. If it is, try a different electrical outlet to rule out power supply issues. Check the GFCI plug and press the “Reset” button. Also, verify that the circuit breaker hasn't tripped and reset it if necessary. If the unit experienced thermal overload, switch off the pressure washer to allow it to cool down and reset automatically. Finally, make sure the on/off pedal is in the “ON” position.
