1
Verify the power switch is in the "I" ("on") position. Although apparently simple, forgetting to switch on the pressure washer is surprisingly common.
-
2
Confirm the pressure washer is plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check the outlet is switched on if your household outlets are fitted with on/off switches.
-
3
Replace the extension cord with either a 25-foot 12/3-gauge cord or a 50-foot 10/3-gauge cord. Other types of extension cords may not work with your Karcher washer.
-
4
Check your fuses or circuit breakers. Some of your electrical circuits may not be functioning due to a blown fuse or tripped breaker. Verify that all fuses or breakers are active.
