Karcher Pressure Washer

Hi, my KARCHER pressure washer has developed a fault ( motor seems to be sticking ). Tried ringing and e-mailing customer services but to no avail so i wondered if anybody knows anywhere (especially in the west yorkshire area )to get it fixed. I would be very grateful if anybody can help me in this matter as the pressure washer is my mother-in-laws and she is doing my head in over this.

    My experience with Karcher is that they are incredibly expensive. Hope you can find someone else to fix it.

    Turning the motor on before the water can cause problems. Have you done this?

    You may find it cost effective to replace rather than repair.

    Depends what the actual fault is, I have just stripped mine down found the faulty part and repaired it, cost me £22 plus postage for the spare from Karcher, and very helpful they where, emailed me a full parts diagram/breakdown and spares list.
