Karcher prssure washer motor will not start

Karcher 620M model cold pressure washer will not start.
,have checked websites for manual,but it does not give a step by step guide in the manual ,as the authorised dealers probably do not want access to the unit.
I attempted to open the topcover to access the motor;it may be the capacitor, electrical connections;but have undone all the screws ,2 on top ,4 at the bottom,2 on the sides , topcover will not come off,any ideas please?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I have a karcher 620m, power going to switch and coming out of switch but motor wont run, there is a white cylinderical item beside the switch with 2 wires and power isn't getting to it have you any...

The little white thing is most likely a capacitor, and only AC current affects this it blocks DC. These don't often fail, and if but if suspect, then replacement is the only way to tell?
You need to check at the actual terminals on the Motor to see if the power is getting there, it should be present at one side of the motor, the "Hot"side, and the other side or "Cold"side will contact to the Neutral wire, to complete the circuit. It is a very basic circuit.
You also need to check the motor is OK, While motor is disconnected, use a meter set to OHMS, and measure across the the motor's terminals, you should get a lowish Ohmic reading, if it is Open circuit, high Megohms, then either the Motor has "Blown" or the embedded protection fuses inside the motor have, either way the effect is the same the motor must be replaced. This is often what it is.
Below is a exploded diagram manual that may help, it's not all in English, but gives one a good idea.

Karcher Pressure washer

Hi
don't know if this will help, but when I use mine, to start the pressure up I have to turn the nozzle to fine spray then turn it to the power spray and it works every time, shouldn't have to do this but I got it for nothing.
