Had exactly the same issue. Took the lance apart as you suggested and found a small piece of grit stuck in the nozzle. Saved the cost of a new one, thank you!
Welcome
That was spot on thanks. I had actually ordered a new lance but it was held up with the Corona issue. So I tried what you did and sure enough there was a tiny grain of something stuck in the nozzle, On clearing the lance was back to working perfectly. Many thanks you saved me about £40. Great!
Thanks for confirming....great to hear feedback
Just wanted to say thank you very much, was pulling my hair out for 4 hours trying to fix my pressure washer and it turned out to be a small bit of glass stuck in my nozzle! It was even causing my pressure washer to turn itself on and off whilst my trigger was constantly pulled.
Exact problem I solved here
Yooooo! Not kidding I had a bit of time before work and my car needed a wash! The wand stop working. I was Vex ready to buy another for 60 cad not including shipping. Used this for exactly 15 washes! 😂 Today nice sunny day....... So I watched this video. I found the glass I was laughing I even saved it! And also I'm not the most tech or handy man type ting so this was so simple. Man u saved me time and money! Thank you! Great and easy video! Guys anither tip use you drill for this. The screws are mid length and deep and its so fast.! 😂 Enjoy!
welcome....this is the common problem with these....I think Karcher puts one in every unit
Thanks for the post! After I remove the small grain of sand clogging the hole, I realized that I didn't have to take the whole nozzle apart as I could have cleared that grain with a pin from the front. But if you are going to take it apart, use a T10 screwdriver. And while you are in there, if you apply a bit of silicone lubricant grease (the stuff for faucets) to the rubber o-ring around that white plastic piece, you'll find that the adjustment is a bit smoother.
Thanks...Glad it helped!
Thanks for your video, I found the same small piece in mine, once removed works perfectly now.
Thanks for your feedback
Greetings from Prince Edward Island CANADA....great video! Ours worked great initially then low horrible useless pressure! Thank you for the help!
I believe it happens to everyone....that's why I posted this video....glad to hear it helped you
My man, thanks for this. I've hady k3 for 7 years and this was the only thing that has gone wrong with my unit
They all do it...my video saves people from buying a new wand
@@PCBoardRepair I can't believe how much black soot had gathered in that nozzle
Our problem is to get the last wheels of from Karcher Pressure washer Model K 3.000 this one comes with 4 wheels ?
Ok mine never had that issue but took mine apart to check anyways but my issue is that when I rotate it to use car wash soap the wand sprays slower but no car wash soap comes out any helpful solution would be appreciated
Look inside the reservoir. The hose curls up out of liquid inside. Put a heavy weight on the tip to hold it down.
Possibly the line from the soap dispenser jug is plugged or disconnected
I didn’t find a glass thing but there was a very small piece of debris . I think the glass thing was just a form of contamination in the water or through the air intake. The bottom line is that the jet gets clogged and has to be opened
just fixed my pressure washer wand ..Thanks for the video...was going to trash the whole thing very frustrating...
easy fix
The white thingamob changes the direction of the fan spray from vertical to horizontal when you turn it 1/4 turn.
thanks for your comment
Thanks for this tip. So even the SMALLEST piece of debris makes the Vario Power nozzel malfunction? Piece of cheap junk if you ask me Karcher.....
mine works great since making this video.....not any piece of debris.....what ever Karcher is putting in these is what causes it to stop working
