Possible Causes

Shorted transistor or MOSFET on nozzle PCB, Firmware glitch in LED control, Moisture causing leakage current, Crossed wiring in nozzle

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery to prevent discharge and avoid leaving the unit unattended.

  • Power reset: Remove the battery for several minutes, then reinstall and check if the LEDs behave normally.
  • Inspect for moisture: Check the nozzle for signs of liquid. Allow to dry thoroughly if moisture is present.
  • Test with another nozzle: If available, connect a different Kärcher nozzle. If the issue disappears, the original nozzle PCB is faulty.
  • Replace nozzle: Replace the powered nozzle assembly if the LED driver is stuck on.
