Answer this question

I have a 2 year old Karcher K4 model 1.324 0050 which suddenly will not now swich on; no hum, apparently no power at all. It came on breifly when manipulating the power cable at the inlet, but has since been totally unresponsive. Could this be the capacitor or a faulty switch? I have checked all the wiring for damage and loose connections as far as I can. I cannot however find the right capacitor spare for this model on espares. Any advice?

    You would need to check the cable with a multimeter to determine if the cable is faulty, check out our video for more help www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WZgprLndhU&t just copy and paste into your browser.

Karcher K3 Pump works when trigger pressed but pulses when released. Machine flushed out and filter checked.

    We believe that it could be due to a possible leak causing it to pulse, check for a leak before suspecting anything else.

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO. WHEN I PRESSED THE BUTTON ITMAKES A NOISE AND STOPS, THEN I HAVE TO KEEP THE FOOT BUTTON AND HOSE BUTTON/LEVER TOGETHER TO MAKE IT SPRAY WITH PRESSURE. IF YOU HAVE A REPAIR-VIDEO PLEASE SEND ON. IT WAS ONLY USED ABOUT 10 TIMES IN IT'S LIFETIME. THANKS

    It is likely to be the on/off switch which is stock code ES953245 so check that before suspecting anything else.

I have cleaned out the pump and re-lubed, it ran without fault for about 3 hours then nothing. I suspect the capacitor but would expect to hear a humming sound from it but nothing. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

    This sounds more like a thermal cut out that has tripped and cut the power while hot and may reset when it cools down. If this is the case the machine may stop for anything from 5 mins to over an hour depending on the type of model. Replacing the capacitor is unlikely to make a difference.

    The most likely cause is the motor capacitor failing. There may be different values depending on the production number so please confirm this before ordering it see: http://www.espares.co.uk/browse/at1315ma877/
