Top 20 Karcher Hose Reel Questions & Answers

The Booklet says "if the hose retraction wheel is stuck and the hose is fully extended, the wheel still have movement. Grip the hose close to the guide hole and gently pull.The retraction wheel will give you enough movement to unlock itself before you slowly allow the auto retraction wheel to wind the hose back into the unit."They also say when walking the hose back to the unit, turn the tap off and press the lever on the watering gun to release pressure on the hose. This makes the retraction to the hose reel a lot easier and prolongs the life of your hose reel. More: Hose Reels

If the leak is on the OUTBOUND side that is towards the Nozzle, it CAN be repaired but for safety I would strongly recommend a new hose. Main reason being that the pressure generated in that hose will blow MOST joints you put in there.

If it is the input side then just get a hose joiner and install it.

Question edited for clarity. Use a DVOM to test the switch and the motor. The capacitor may have failed. Does it hum when you turn it on, that is a good indicator of a failed start/run capacitor. https://www.ransomspares.co.uk/parts/brands/karcher/pressure-washer-spares/k6.85m-wb%20gb%20%281.397-502.0%29/ Help and videos https://www.google.com/search?q=karcher+k6.85+doesn%27t+switch+on ..

Have you tried servicing the motor. Fresh air filter, new fuel filter and a fresh spark plug? That will help narrow down what the problem could be.

It sounds like there may be a potential issue with the pressure build-up mechanism in your Karcher K2 compact. The constant motor running without water pressure could indicate a problem with the pump or the pressure switch. I would recommend checking the following:

1. Check the inlet filter: Ensure that the inlet filter is clean and free from any debris or blockages. A clogged filter can restrict water flow and affect pressure.

2. Inspect the nozzle: Make sure the nozzle is not obstructed or damaged. A blocked or damaged nozzle can restrict water flow and affect pressure as well.

3. Check the pressure switch: The pressure switch is responsible for regulating the motor and water flow. It's possible that the switch is faulty or not functioning correctly. Consider contacting Karcher customer support or a professional technician for assistance with checking and possibly replacing the pressure switch.

4. Examine the pump: There might be an issue with the pump itself. It could be worn out, clogged, or experiencing other internal problems. In such cases, it's best to reach out to Karcher customer support or a professional technician for further diagnosis and repair.

Remember to always follow safety precautions and consult the user manual provided by Karcher for specific troubleshooting steps and guidelines.

Try descaling it. Limescale film can build up if you leave it filled between uses. Or contact Karcher direct with a request for warranty repair. https://www.google.com/search?q=Karcher+FC7+cordless+low+ater+light+is+on ..

Question edited for clarity. It is not mentioned anywhere https://s1.kaercher-media.com/documents/manuals/raw/000/BTA-5173594-000-04.pdf https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1134933/K-Rcher-G-4-10-M.html?page=20 They used to use Honda engines, but my guess is they now use Chinese engines that cost one bowl of rice instead of four.

I had the same problem. I removed the spray part of the spray gun so I was on soap setting and I had water but when I reconnected the spray wand same thing. * I turned out to be a little bit of grit was in the nozzle. I cleaned out the grit and my spray cleaner worked without a problem.

This is a rounded square. As long as the bolts are in the right place. The flange is just a mounting to connect engine to the pump drive. Or phone Karcher and query it. They are a good company to deal with and friendly on the phone. https://www.ppe-pressure-washer-parts.com/karcher-hd3101dr-pressure-washer-parts Karcher Contact https://www.google.com/search?q=Karcher+contact ..

Greetings from Toronto :>) Two different wands for different uses and one has a low (hardly any) pressure mode for spraying detergent. Have you read the manual? I found it. https://www.ppe-pressure-washer-parts.com/files/1961581/uploaded/K3.48M.pdf ..

Clean water intake side. Usually there is a fine filter inside. Clean clogs on output side. Nozzle. Spray head.

This will depend on where exactly it has broken on the inlet pipe and if Karcher sells the spare you need. Some inlet ports are 'screw-on' adapters and they can be swapped.
