Karcher Pressure Washer Motor Issue - burning smell
My Karcher K2 started making a burning smell during usage and then cut out. I opened it up and found a part of the motor looks to have burnt away. The carbon brushes also appear worn down. See pictures.
I can replace the carbon brushes myself but I’m assuming they aren’t the primary cause of the burning smell and cutting out.
Two questions
- what is the burnt part and can it be replaced?
- if so, by me or a professional?
