Karcher K5.80

[Mike1990]

Hello,

I've just bought a Karcher K5.80 pressure washer refurbished, i tried it and it works but the noice is really loud like a screetching sound. The power of it is superb but the noice makes me not want to use it.

Is this how it should be?

Thank you
Mike

Should it be really this loud and high pitched?

Thank you

What do you think is wrong with it?

tbh sounds like a dry pump or dry bearing, could be very wrong but thats what i would guess. can you not send it back?

 

[Mike1990]

Yes, I'm ringing them tomorrow.

[Mike1990]

They are picking it up tomorrow and sending me out a working pressure washer

This can be just the motor fan catching on the fan cover sue to incorrect reassembly. You can just open the box and realign the fan cowl
