I bought a broken Karcher K2 Power Control on an online auction for a few $, just to check if it's just an air bubble triggering a cutoff, which I heard was very common and after running water through it turned off for a few minutes it indeed started working normally. Then of course I had to go full retard and forgot to turn it off and left it on idle for an hours or so and when I came back, it was dead again. How sensitive are pressure washers for this kind of thing? Did I break the pump?
>>2892136Maybe burned out a temperature fuse. Those are easy to replace if it's just that.
k2's shouldn't idle, they use a pressure switch that shuts off the motorwere you running it without the gun connected?
>>2892405I turned it on, sprayed stuff with the gun for a few minutes, then my phone rang, which escalated into me going out for about an hour, all while the washer was turned on with the switch and keeping pressure. when I came back, it only sprayed with the pressure from the pipes, with the pump not engaging. when I tried turning it on and of or unplugging it a few times, but it was completely dead. I only checked with a multimeter for a short circut on the plug so far, but the resistance was so high it didn't even show any ohms
>>2892458bypass the switch and see if it runs when you plug it in
