Default Karcher pressure washer fault (motor?)

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?
