Introduction
Do you have a Karcher WV2 window cleaner that refuses to turn on?
Don't Panic!
Follow this step-by-step tutorial to fix your device.
What you need
-
-
First, check that your device is the correct model.
-
Remove the high nozzle.
-
Remove the wastewater tank.
-
Check if your model is WV2.
-
-
-
Remove the first five screws using a compatible torx bit or a flat-head screwdriver.
-
There is no specific length for each screw, so it doesn't matter if they get mixed up.
-
Don't use a screwdriver with a shaft that is too large as it could get stuck in the plastic part.
-
-
-
Using a flat-head screwdriver, you can carefully remove the bottom cover.
-
Don't force it as you could risk breaking the two lugs.
-
Once the bottom cover is removed, unscrew the last screw located behind the bottom cover.
-
-
-
-
Using a flat-head screwdriver, or gently by hand, separate the two halves, right and left, of the device.
-
-
-
Gently remove the suction body and the On/Off button from the housing.
-
With your hand, and without forcing it, gently remove the two lugs on either side of the fan to separate it from the "nozzle".
-
-
-
Inspect the fan and its shaft. The flashing green light indicates that the fan is unable to start.
-
Rotate the fan by hand to see if there is any resistance.
-
If there isn't anything preventing the fan from spinning, there shouldn't be any resistance.
-
Press the button, your fan should spin again!
-
-
-
You can now take advantage of your window cleaner to clean all of your windows!
