Karcher Leaking from Back or inside...Help please

When I opened up the machine, I noted that I have one connector for the garden hose and a second one for the hose that connects the pump to the gun. However, that hose keeps falling off once the device is powered up, I tried tightening the connection but no luck.. I was wondering if someone could advise if I I could be missing a washer ?

Karcher pressure washers are very sensitive to over-winter freezing. The plastic parts break, and you have to replace all of the leaking parts.
You may be missing a locking tab, without seeing the thing apart next to the exploded parts view, it's really hard to tell. Search google for "karcher parts", and put in your model number...

How do i fix leaking karcher power washer

Leakage from the machine itself, can be from faulty O ring Gaskets.
If the leaks are from the gun, one can service the gun. Please note that a gun leakage will cause the machine to start and stop many times. These are a few points that I can help you with. If you described from where the leakage is coming, I could be more helpful.
Regards,
MG.

My karcher 250 pulsates when i turn it on, any idia how to fix it thanks

My karcher 250 pulsates when i turn it on, any idia how to fix it thanks

Several things can cause this problem. It is trying to build up pressure and something is preventing it.

1. check water pressure comming out of the the spicket.
2. Make sure the hose and connectors aren't leaking.
3. make sure there isn't any water leaking from the washer.

If all is ok I would guess the pressure pump has gone out that's the noise you hear pulsating trying to build up pressure.

Water dripping from the top near the water inlet connectors. can feel the dripping water falling on my hand when placed in the opening half way down the back of the machine. how do I get into the upper...

Hi. The most likely source of a leak that you can feel is the hose washer where it connects to the washer, if it leaks constantly. I use a mirror to peer behind stuff, and it works pretty well. The easiest way to confirm this is to slide the machine out far enough to see it in action (leaking, that is). Channel locks will usually tighten up the hose, but if the hose and hose washers are old, you should replace the washer. The washer is the same as those used in garden hoses, and can be found at any hardware store. Manuals can be found at the bottom of the FixYa page.

I can't connect the garden hose to the water inlet. I am using a size 5/8'' hose but it wont connect to the unit. Please help!

Karcher electric pressure washers typically are supplied fitted with the male half of a standard Hozelock connector. You need the female half secured to the end of your hose, and then they just click together.

Can't get the spray gun onto the hose from the washer...no manual

Your posting is incomplete, so I'm not quite sure what we're dealing with here.  I understand the machine and the high-pressure hose are Karcher - right?  Is the gun also a Karcher part?  If all are Karcher parts, they should fit unless the screw threads have been damaged.  If they are not all Karcher parts, they will not fit because Karcher connectors are different from almost all others.
Please post again if this doesn't help, giving as much detail as possible, and I'll see what else I can offer.

Karcher/Winner 11 - motor pulses when hose is not operating

Hi, I had the same problem, Replaced the O rings and the rubber seals and cups inside the pressure washer and eventually the hose itself burst. Turns out the hose was leaking, internally between the inner sheath and the outside plastic cover, for quite some time and this caused the pulse. New hose and pressure cleaner is as good as new.
