It's not the best washer. When iyou start it you need to give it time before it starts to work.

I've had the same one for three years and it always starts on the 2nd pull. I don't know how maintenance savvy you are so I'll just cover a few areas which you might look at. 1. The choke, is it left on? 2. Your air filter. Clogged, damp, any obstructions? 3. Spark plug, clean it, check the gapping or just replace it. Hope one of these solves your problem because this is one of the most dependable power washer I've owned. It gets used a lot in the summer!

I would not bother finding any information on the product other than the workmanship! Used it with 3200PSI rated pressure washer. It lasted less than 1/2 tank gas before developing a leak at the base of metal connection. May work as an extension for a garden hose resulting increased pressure. Good luck.

Karcher power washer is junk used mine about 3 times and now will not work properly warranty is for 1 year after that you are screwed when I called for tech support and went thru the automated phone crap they asked if washer was more than 1 year old to press #4 i think when I did the call was dropped they hung up. I have had a Coleman Powermate for 10 or more years and it still works but wanted something with more power but Coleman is out of business and the Karcher sounded like a good deal but I was WRONG! buy a gas powered model made by Honda or at least one with a Honda motor install a gas shut off valve in fuel line use sta-bil in the gas and at end of season run the tank and carb dry Home depot sells a quart can of leaded gas pour it in run the motor for a while to make sure all of this crap gas they sell now is gone turn the shut of valve to the off position and run it till it stops and you should be fine if you can remove the carb bowl and pour out any gas in it. As the old saying goes you get what you pay for but in the case of Karcher look for something else. if the gas washer is to much work I have seen washer for as low as $99.00 at that price if it only lasts 5-6 times you are not out that much cash. when i finally found some one who knew Karchers explained my problem it did not take him long to tell me the faulty part was $65.00 plus shipping at that point I told him I am not spending that kind of money and then have something else go wrong and at 65.00 I am over half way to a cheap washer. I hope this helps

the washer broke too many times to try to wash delicates. Lg replaced the washer and I retuned it to Home Depot and purchased Maytag front loader and have been well pleased with no problems.

Mine is plastic. Never had one come apart but I wouldn't think it'd hurt the washer. If there's particles, probably good to remove them. I'd imagine it's just cleaner though. I'd check into getting it replaced.

The majority of the pressure washer tips I've found all fit my washer with no problems, but your PW is 3100 PSI, and this is rated for up to 3000 PSI. It would work, but with the extra pressure it would probably just wear out a little bit faster than my 2700 PSI washer.

I had the same results. ended up using the pressure washer, now it looks great.

Mine leaks too at the shut-off valve. I had the washers in place and I believe they were rightly used. It seems that there is another washer below the hex nut (which is not visible) and in my case perhaps that washer has issues. I can see water coming out from below the hex nut.I tried several times but could not stop the leakage. I am returning this piece and ordering another one. Let's see how is the other one.

Sounds like you would need an adopter, Please try to be sure that the adopter can be used at the highest pressure possible by the pressure washer.

i had the same issue and found that it was the solid rubber washer in the spray valve. it appeared to be stuck in the valve chamber. i flipped it over in desperation and now it works fine. the older model had a built in tool in the spray lever to un-tighten the valve chamber.

Thanks for reminding me. I need a new one too. Check here: http://hoover.com/products/details/fh50005/quick-and-light-carpet-washer/?filter=10#parts Looks like $4.25 + $4.99 shipping as of today.

I have used it on 5-6 occasions, all last Autumn 2013. This Spring (2014) I used it one time and the unit no longer shuts off when the trigger is released on the spray handle. A leak occurs near the bottom. Pressure no longer builds up to trigger the auto shut off so my unit runs continuously. I am still in warranty (12 mos period) but have to trek 30 miles to an authorized repair center for service. I was told by the repair centers that they have problems all the time with Karcher electric PW - usually pumps fail. And that getting parts from Karcher in a timely manner was rare.

I had the same thing happen a year ago, the beater bar stopped working. I called the customer service number and they said to push down the reset button, which I did several times. Then they said to take it to Sears for repair. When I took it in, the lady working tried to sell me a refurbished model, saying it was cheaper than having mine worked on. I decided to try a couple of vacuum repair places in our area. Both said they would not work on that model, although one of the stores had a refurbished one. I bought the cheapest vacuum that WalMart sells while I decided what to do about my expensive, Consumer Report-recommended Kenmore vacuum. I'm still using the WalMart one!!

Ditto, worked great initially. No one In town knows how to fix mine.My husband watched the lift brushes and noticed they were not moving up and down so he ftled a little bit of the plastic and it is working now.However we wait every day for it to die.
