Default Karcher pressure washer fault (motor?)

redwood wrote:
I've got a Karcher 330 pressure washer which is a few years old but had
little use. I was using it today and after a few mins it lost water
pressure and I noticed the sound of the motor went quieter for a few
seconds before stopping altogether. It had blown a fuse in the 10amp
extension I was using. I changed the fuse and tried again but
immediately I switched on it sounded like the motor was struggling to
work and I noticed a burning smell from the back of the Karcher vents.
Needless to say I swiftly unplugged everything and left well alone.
Does it sound like the motor has gone kaput? or any other common
problems with this model?


Either motor, or pump jammed, which took out hte motor.
