@wittenborg what model is your Karcher? Since it keeps running if you keep pulling the trigger this could be related to some over-pressure....

Try going here to the Karcher UK website as it offers a FAQ, see if your problem is listed and if there is a fix for it. Otherwise, post your model number and someone will help you.

P.S. Electric washers have a duty cycle, and they really shouldn't be used for more than about 5 mins at a time. As they will ultimately fail.

Pressure will start to struggle, if your motor has been overheating.
