Hi all. I've got a Karcher K2 basic jetwasher, new, used 3 times and now the motor doesn't turn on at all. I called Karcher and explained that when I tried using it yesterday before the motor died, it was working with good pressure for a few seconds and then the pressure weakened. When this happened I noticed the first few feet of the hose was flattening out. When I switched the jetwasher off, the hose reinflated. Turn it on again, same thing happened.
Karcher customer service suggested it was probably an air block so I followed the instructions to bleed it but it made no difference, this thing appears to be dead. No humming or buzzing, no sound at all. So I'm guessing it's not a capacitor. Perhaps the switch is faulty? Thumping the machine doesn't make it come on. Fuse is working. I'm out of warranty as this was bought for me a couple of years ago but I only just started using it a few weeks ago.
Any suggestions on fixing it?
