They are sensitive to large extention cords. My father in laws pops reset when a small cord is used. If internally shorted- motor will continually pop the reset even plugged direct to outlet. Check voltage at outlet.

SOURCE: karcher k2 power washer inlet-outlet manifold cracked along weld

well depends did u use it in cold tempatures if so no it was u. if not then most likely or could have been just a crazzy thought here that there was a electrical discharge when it was pluged in and cracked the block on it but honestly thats 1/10000000000000 chance of happening. or it overheated and cracked it but relistically if its new then just take it back and play dumb or if its still under warrenty play dumb and get it fixed. aslo u can search for a new part on craigslist or ebay. last but not least if its not uner warrenty or new to take back or u cant find a part either thru the ones i listed or by calling the man. ur last resort is to just throw it away.

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.

Karcher problems

Check to see if there is a red button on the motor. If there is it is likely an electrical reset button. Push it in and check to see if there is power. Try a different power outlet as you may have blown the electrical breaker on the power supply from the building.

I have no pressure and the pump surges when i release the trigger on my electric karcher modle k 2.360

If you have a Karcher then you should always post your machines barcode.

Because you have the low pressure and pulse this will be the valve block. Your machine has 3 piston and each has 2 valves (inlet and outlet). Because you dont have the barcode, i cant be sure if you will buy a valve kit of 6 valves or a pre-assembled manifold block.

it could be this machine and spares :
http://www.sparesgiant.com/cleaning-equipment/pressure-washers/karcher/k-series-parts/k2-range/k2-36m16724300/

The karcher barcode is on a silver sticker and is usually 15 digits long. Example 156987400000123 is actually model 1.569-874.0 and serial number 00123....

I have a Karcher electric power washer. The circuit breaker only works for less than one minute. I have to press the reset again and again. Please help. Thanks.

do you mean the gfci that is normally at the end of the cord or the switch on the unit itself. if its the ground fault circuit interrupter its detecting a short to ground and protecting you from recieving a shock.must inspect inside unit for possible moisture around motor or switch i don't think its overloading

Kracher power washer won't turn on

Sure that the outlet you are using is powered? Is power reaching the motor? - I had my power switch on my karcher break internally rendering machine dead. If power is reaching the motor for sure and it does not run then there has to be an open motor winding. If pump jammed you would hear a humming noise from motor and the breaker would pop.

My washer was running fine and it just stopped. Now It won t start again. Any help!! Model K2.97

Check the fuse on the unit. Since this is a electrical unit, it may have also tripped your main breaker on your power source. If using an extension cord, try to use a larger one (size of wire) and shortest as possible. For more info go to www.karcher/co.uk/images/manuals/outdoor/k2 (Troubleshooting problems) .... Good luck.

When i operate the switch on my karcher pressure washer the power wash does not operate.

But water comes out the end right? just under hose pressure only I bet. I have one of these units and every time I think it has gone bad I manage to find the problem. This unit not only has the switch on the front that needs to be on but it also has a safety switch on the plug where it plugs into a wall or extension cord. The last time I thought mine had gone bad it had actually blown the fuse. the unit was plugged into an outside outlet via extension cord. It just so happens that that is an GFCI outlet. I think the wife got water on the extension cord and that caused it to blow. So check:
The power switch on the front The safety switch on the cord, The outlet it is plugged into
Usually, for us, it is the button on the cord when it is plugged into an extension cord it always gets the test button bumped which shuts it down.

Washing machine causing power failure in whole

Best answer to this is the circuit outlet is connected to is overloaded < to many items are plugged into it > could be 15-20 watt breaker and usage amounts to more than wattage allowence. If you can lighten the load on circuit by removing things < t.v.,appliances,lights,etc.> from the other outlets that are affected < shutting down when breaker trips > then you can compromise and use washer any time. The other suggestion is to dedicate a breaker to washer, < by adding breaker and wiring to outlet for washer >.
