Thank you sir! After not using my K5 for a year it didn't start up and I already read thru several repair instructions. Shortly before starting to take it apart, I ran into your video. Worked like a charm and saved me so much time - priceless. At least one more pint to book - already on its way.
Genius! I had rebuilt the switch 3 times already after lending it to my mother-in-law. I couldn't understand why the switch was always failing for her. But I ran the water through it, and hey presto! Works without rebuilding the switch!! Cheers David - enjoy your pint!
Thank You from South Africa. Was about to take my K5.700 to the agents for repair when i found your video. Running like a dream. You are a scholar and a gentleman Sir.
Well worth the fiver I just paid for this little fix it gem. Thanks David, I turned my karcher on this morning, nothing, thought I was going to have to buy a new karcher and believe me this week, our waterfall pump which we have had 3 weeks has broken down the solenoid was too weak and our astralpool colour changing pool lights that we have had for 2 months also broken over the weekend so it could have been rather an expensive week what with the karcher. But we took your advice and it works...yippeee thank you for that!
Cheers David, just got the Karcher out of storage and no power. Looked on Google for advise and found your page, it worked a treat. We have donated the price of a pint as suggested. Thanks very much it saved us a small fortune, you are a star. Steve and Yvonne, Manchester
This bloody worked!!!! What did we do before UA-cam and Google and people like you. Back to jet washing the car. Saved a pile of dosh too. Thanks for your help.
I too can’t thank you enough. I tried two 13amp fuses I had and when they didn’t work went and bought new ones which didn’t help either. Your advice did the trick so many thanks
Top man David, spent an hour or more trying to get my K4 started and then thought id check on tube. Glad your video was one off the 1st i came across💯After 3 attempts…… the jet wash started🤣 I owe you a pint. Thanks a million 👏🏻
You are a diamond 👍 Got the Karcher K4 out of the garage, absolutely dead. Searched on UA-cam found your video and the Landy got a good clean. Many thanks 👍
Big Thank you to you David! Enjoy the pint.... when the pubs reopen on Monday!! least I could do as I was thinking I was going to have to replace my K4 or get my arms and legs ripped of by giving it to Karcher to fix. You are the best!
I tries this a couple of months ago with my K5 and it didn't work. I said I'd look into it again and try once more. As I was watching this video trying this with the water running the machine kicked back in again. Amazing 👏
My K2 wasn't working due to the air lock issue so called Karcher and they quoted £170 as its just out if warranty. Watched your video and you saved me from buying a new one. Thank you.
You sir are an absolute STAR…I was just about to strip the K4 down, but you’ve saved me hours of work with this simple trick. Thanks does not seem enough….but THANKS anyway.
Can’t thank you enough for the trick! It worked wonders!! I have been trying so many different things and it wouldn’t work, and your tip saved me so much time and money! Thank you once again.
Fantastic - and it works. Thank you so much, The key, as you say, is to leave it running through with water for at least 10 minutes. Cheers David - you are a true star!!!
Thankyou so much we were ready to order a new one. It kept stopping and starting, then wouldn't switch on at all, come straight here and found you... Brilliant. Pint sent cheers 🍻
@@dmgladden This problem occurred last week with my 2018 K7! I have looked at all possible problems. Cursed. I had all my gear ready and SUDDENLY he refused to provide service. The chemistry had already been done on the tiles .... In the meantime, the K7 has been sent to the dealer for ... repair.
well,i don't believe it,didn't think this would work for 1 second,buried my k4 in my shed and bought a new one,this was 2 years ago,came a cross your video and this worked instantly,brilliant,thanks David.
I think I owe you a pint! I've had a K4 in my shed that has not worked for years, I've just done what you suggested, and now all is good. Thank you so much. Dominic Duncan
Thanks David! I threw out my last pressure washer and was thinking I might have to do the same for my current one. Your tip worked like a charm! Cheers!
Sir, you are amazing. Thank you so much for that tip my K4 works a treat now. Living in Lanzarote its so difficult to find anyone to repair it, so you saved me buying a new one. You are a genius, wish I could buy you a pint🍺 thank you so much.
Amazing!!! I’ve not used my Karcher 620M since 2005 (long story). Attempted to use is a few weeks back but nothing at all...assumed it was ruined. Just followed this tip, and it sprang into life - looks like another pint for you David!!!
Thanks Dave , I did this yesterday and yes it worked , after checking the fuse in the plug and trying to eliminate what was causing it to not start , I watched your video and it did .cheers .
Thank you my mate!!! Not sure what model Karcher water blaster I have, but mine looks quite different to yours, and I cannot run the water through the nozzle like yours, but I could just run the water through the machine itself. I did this, and after a few seconds water burst out the front plug where I plug in the nozzles cable in. Then turned on the power, and boom, everything working again!!!! Thank you heaps My Man!!!!!! Lifesaver!!! The Mrs is especially happy as I could wash her car today.. :-) Happy Wife, Happy Life!!!
thank you very much for sharing this tip . just want to let you know that this tip has worked twice for me on two different karchers a k4 full control and now a k5 premium . i thought on both occasions they had been run on an extension lead and burnt out the motor capacitor and was just about to strip the k5 down to replace the capacitor and remembered this video so tried it and it worked . absolutely great guy great tip saved me a lot of work
Hi James that's great I guess a lot of money saved in repair bills or even replacements that's got to be worth a couple of pints? See my link if you agree and thank you
David thanks man followed your tutorial my K4 wasn't working but it is now. Never had a problem with it before. I honestly thought this simple trick wouldn't work but it's now back to 100% working 👍👍👍
Hi, just tried your tip and I was delighted when the machine started up after running water through it for 10/15 mins, I was certain that there was an electrical problem such as a faulty switch. Initially I ran the water for only a minute or two but the machine did not start. then as last effort I let the water run for a longer period to my amazement the machine started. Thanks very much for the tip.
Thank you I did as you said and it worked just like you showed in the video. It was in the shed for a long time and I was going to pull it apart. You saved me time and money. Thanks again
Brilliant!! Thanks very much, I've bought you a pint. 😂 I actually paid £40 last year for the same problem, no wonder I thought I had it repaired cheaply. Thanks again.
I had the opposite problem, my K5 would not switch off. But it was a problem in the same area so I thought I would give it a try. The result is you're officially a genius. Thank you thank you you
David, you're a star, just did as you say with my non-starting Karcher K5.700 and it worked a treat. I've just sent you a wee donation. Have a pint on me my friend. Thank you.
You're a diamond geezer mate,I was on the point of buying a new one when I came upon you. I'm gladly sending you a couple of pints,and I'll recommend you to one and all.CHEERS !!
Wonderful. It worked on my Karcher 3 perfectly. Had to give it the full 10 minutes, as had previously watched a different video that said 5 and that didn't work. Have just bought you a pint. Cheers!
This actually works I thought mind was dead absolutely thought no chance this would work but boooshack she’s back on, thank you very much I owe you a pint 🍺👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Just sent you a pint my friend, was pressure washing the patio this morning ,and the hose popped off, motor went manic, though jeez its knackered. It would not turn on, though bugger naffed the motor and off to homebase i go for another. A quick google and found your vid. Enjoy your beer! Lee
This works. Every time I leave my machine for a while I have to follow this rigmarole. I would not recommend a Karcher machine to anyone considering buying one - over hyped.
I got karcher 5 and only used few times. Tried to use other day did not work. Checked fuse, cables but every thing was working except the unit Followed your advice and it worked. Thank you David come for a pint anytime.
Hi Kamal the idea with the link is you make a small donation about the price of a pint or two say a fiver or tenner by clicking on the link in the video that's of course only if you really meant it, chears David
Omg I certainly owe you a pint, mine isn’t a Karcher but I figured they must be all made the same way and bingo...thank you for saving me some money. Bless you 👍
Thank you David!!! That solved my problem with the Karcher K5. Unfortunately for you, I couldn't change the amount and give more. So I gave twice! :) Thank You!
Hi Joxxy, first may I say thank you very much it will be put to good use I don't really waste it on beer I have enough of that already lol but it goes into the workshop, I think you will be amassed by just how few people have wanted to offer any form of contribution that has used my help despite as you know it saves them all so much money it almost puts you off wanting to help, which is why I am so greatful to people like you that have the decency to want to contribute, I hope you enjoy some of my other videos I have lots
Great tip...the airlock can happen if you inadvertently turn the power on with either the water not connected or not turned on....always ensure you switch off the Karcher before disconnecting the water after using the washer.
Thank you sir! After not using my K5 for a year it didn't start up and I already read thru several repair instructions. Shortly before starting to take it apart, I ran into your video. Worked like a charm and saved me so much time - priceless. At least one more pint to book - already on its way.
