  The parts returned the Karcher power spray to its original condition. Cheaper than replacing the washer but not by much depending on its future life expectancy.

• Q replace control head for K4.99M 2 Answers

  I have removed main asembly from body of washer but how do I remove actual contro; head asembly, the Detergent pipe conector is at right angles to whet looks like the slot to allow it be removed. do I need to turn it, as it feels quite ridgid.

    Make sure the bolts that hold the casting cover are removed. You then need to wiggle the small detergent fitting assembly elbow 90° to allow the casting cover to pass. If its stubborn take extra care and do not force it because the plastic elbow is pritle and can break.

    just wiggle and pull all parts must be swapped so your old part resembles the new part received

    Hi, I had the same problem, it was a cracked seal, i was going to replace all 3 of the seals but for piece of mind i changed the whole cylinderhead. This came with a full set of seals, springs etc. So for a few pound more, you get to renew the whole cylinderhead plus the internal parts.

    Hi, check all tubing and cylinder head parts for cracks. If you can't find any, it may be one of the seals, check these too. Seeing as the leak is happening at this part on your washer but there's no cracks, it sounds like it could very well be a seal. Best of luck!

• Q Pulsing K5.50 2 Answers

  Hi, Am having problems with my K5.50 it's constantly pulsing, when not in use, and I have also noticed it's slightly down on power. I have been told it could be the control head, but after removing this, I can't see any evidence of it leaking.... Help what do you think? Thanks

    I had a cracked control head body and cracked Vario lance nozzle in my K4.99M, and replacing these parts cured the pulsing and low pressure. I believe that these problems were caused by freezing damage.

• Q Replacing control head parts set, how do we remove the old one from the alloy housing 1 Answer

  Model is K5.55m

  by weston denise - 16 February 2012

    its very difficult. You need to remove the silver nut ( tightly fixed ) , and then push out the internal washer/tube ( red in colour). We ended up pushing it out by having to damage the internal part of the control head ( which was being replaced anyway ). Its tight but will eventually come out. Try not to damage the detergent holder and the hose fitting below unless you have ordered new ones of these. We had to resort to a hammer and other tools to literally bang/force the part out. Good luck!

• Q My Karcher KB 4040 is leaking water from the point where it links to the white switch housing. I have relaced the set contro,set cylinder and form seal, however it is still leaking? 1 Answer

  by JKJ - 31 October 2011

    Take off the cover and run the washer for a few seconds to identify where the leak is coming from. It's most likely the pressure washer control head housing which I've had to replace twice! Makes sense to replace the triangular cylinder head seal at the same time. Good luck.
