Karcher k3-91m electrical box

When all connected and plug-in, the karcher motor starts immediately and keeps running eventhough the switch is in the off position. Turning the switch on & off does not make any change. Your advice would be most welcomed as usual, thanks

SOURCE: 50cc Two Stroke Scooter Engine - Poor Idle

I had the same problem- from out of nowhere the scooter started dying at every stop. I adjusted the idle screw to 2000 and it still idled up and down. I bought some injector cleaner but this will take a while to work (several tanks of gas) and then found this link- seems to be a very simple thing to do once you read this link. I hope it helps. --

SOURCE: The motor keeps surging

If there's a lot of sediment in your water supply, there's a chance that sediment has gummed up the pressure switches. I'm assuming it has a full power switch and high power switch. It runs on full power until a pressure switch is satisfied, and runs on low power to slowly build the pressure back up, at which a second switch is satisfied from the pressure and turns the motor off. These things are not easy to work on, and are made of metal probably too fragile to try any chemicals. You should probably contact the manufacturer.

SOURCE: Karcher K2.36 motor cut out and won't restart

Yes, the water should be turned on first but if it only ran for a minute or two it should be OK. Most late model pressure washers have an automatic shutoff when the trigger on the wand is released. Turn on the water and then the machine and then squeeze the trigger on the handle of the wand and the motor should start as soon as the air is cleared from the line by the flowing water (about 10 seconds). If the unit was put away wet last season you may need to clean the nozzle with a piece of wire too.

NT48/1 professional karcher not working. Changed fuse in the plug yet still not working. Replaced the filter. Still not working. Could be the motor not working?

Is the motor running? If not, did you check the starting capacitor?
Did you check motor windings for continuity? Did the pump seize? Is electricity reaching the unit - wire ok?

What is this problem - Karcher 3.86 electric pressure washer: humming noise, plug gets very hot, then unit shuts down?

Your pressure washer is either not fitted with a run/stop device in which case like mine you have to switch off within a few seconds of closing the trigger. Check your model features?
The humming noise is the motor stalled out against the pump because there is nowhere for the water to go. The shutoff is caused by the safety overload switching off after overheat.
Or, it has a pressure operated run/stop which is not working. Because water and electricity don't mix, I would suggest getting more specific help. You can download Karcher manuals /spares lists online from Karcher specialists but remember electricity is the silent killer.

My karcher pressure did turn on but stopped working altogether now wont turn on

Make sure that your circuit breaker did not go off and you have power..

Turn on the water after connecting the hoses. Then connect an ohm meter to the hot and ground legs of the male power plug. Push the on/off button to on and then pull the trigger. When you do that your ohm meter should indicate the resistance of the motor windings. If the resistance still stays at zero, then 1 - your motor is burnt out, 2 - the on/off switch is not working, 3 - the water pressure switch is electrically open. Check all three for proper operation and replace as needed.

The water must be switched on, and seen to be running freely from the nozzle for a few seconds before switching on the power - suggest you check the fuse in the plug, and then try the above.

Motor runs constantly with low pressure.

What you described I would think that it a switch problem, I would go to Karcher.com and order an original part for this and start over with the electrical portion and then go from there.
