    Hello,
    In the Karcher K 2.300 washer, water leaks from the bottom of the housing. Also, the washer keeps turning on and off even though I'm not using the gun. Anyone have an idea what's wrong?

    It is possible that there is air in the pipe, before connecting, turn on the tap and pour water to drive the air out and check if it is still the same? I had similar symptoms in the lower model and it helped!
    Unless it's a cracked head?

    It's not sealed, I checked.

    Narawa I do not know, but the heads are in the price of PLN 70-130!

    So I'm wondering what could possibly crack the head. Too much water pressure from the connection, could it unseal?

    Hello
    I'll stick to the topic, because the problem is a bit similar, but different, because nothing leaks for me and the washer is K3. The problem is that when the gun is pressed, the water flows and stops, it is pulsating, more or less in 3 second cycles, then the motor turns on and off, and so on and on and on as long as the gun is on. Where to look for the cause?

    Man, is it so hard to find out where the 'leak' is?

    Hello.
    Let me stick to the topic. K3 washer under warranty. The picture shows exactly where it's leaking from. Does the warranty service cover such a repair? Is this a symptom of a damaged head?
    Thank you very much for the information.

    They will say that you froze and they will fix it under warranty. Out of warranty repairs are usually not worth it.

    I need to finally take mine apart and see what hurts her. It will most likely be the pain that will end my washer's life.

    Today I finally dismantled my washer and it turns out that the water is leaking, because there is a crack in this marked place:

    It roughly looks like this:

    And the water flows like this:

    What can be done about this crack?

    What could have caused such a crack?

    EDIT:
    Where can I find the part number on the head?

    If I unscrew these two marked screws and the other two, invisible, will the head be unsealed from the pump? Will water leak if you twist it again?
