Kärcher Mode Control / Switch Failure

Cordless vacuum runs only in one power mode and ignores mode changes

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Defective mode button, Faulty mode selector switch on PCB, Software glitch in control logic, Broken trace on UI board

Safety first: Remove the battery before working near controls.

Reset unit: Remove the battery for 1 minute, then reinstall and test mode changes again.
Check button feel: Ensure the mode button has a clear click. If it feels mushy or stuck, the mechanical switch may be damaged.
Clean around button: Use a soft brush to remove dust. Avoid liquids.
Service if unresolved: If the vacuum still ignores mode changes, the UI PCB or main PCB mode circuit likely needs replacement.
