Is my Karcher supposed to do this??

I know the answer to this is no but has anyone had a similiar problem.


 
While washing the car the pressure dropped momentarily then picked up straight away but noticed water starting to come out through the front grill. Not keen on electricity and water mixing I stopped immediately. Any experience of people blowing seals on their washers? Should still be in warranty so fingers crossed ok. It's just ,I seem to remember people having problems with frost damage and then Karcher being arsey about it. 

bodger00:
Sorry to have to say this but Karchers are renowned for doing this. The bearings go in the motor and they start to leak oil followed by water pouring out of the unit.

If you google search there are loads of people with the same issue.

I have had it happen to me and decided to switch to a Nilfisk power washer which has a aluminium motor.

danishmkvgti:
Nilfisk, Danish quality FTW  :wink:

dajonic:
Bloody thing! I've only used it twice :fighting: Fingersd crossed I've still got the receipt and it's going back.

Thanks guys...Nilfisk it is :happy2:

stealthwolf:
I've heard stories of this happening and the cost to repair can be as much as the price o a new machine. Having said that, my little K2.02 still plugs away fine.

See what Karcher say and do. Where did you buy it from?

Despite my karcher working, I upgraded and i went for nilfisk too. If you do go for the latter, buy it from Argos so any problems and you just take it back in person.
