Karcher pressure washer k2.56 repai

My karcher pressure washer k2.56 delux fan ran continuously when it was turned on and wouldn't stop until it was switched off. 

I opened it up and found what felt like dirty oil on the inside of the casing.

I took the pump apart and found the Motor Planet Wheels which are made of plastic were in bits with loads of plastic shavings inside. This was along side what looked like grey greasy water inside the pump where the wheels are fitted.

I've ordered new Motor Planet Wheels and I'm wondering is there any type of oil needed when its reassembled or in the pump at all. As I've read electric pressure washer doesn't need oil?

Thanks in advance
