Karcher K2.94M is not working - it buzzes when switched on but the motor doesn't want to turn. Have tried a new capacitor but still the same. No air lock. Was going to check the motor brushes but I can't get at them as there seems to be a protective shroud over the motor. See pics. Looking down the slim gaps I can't immediately see any wires which might lead to any brushes, so am not sure if this is supposed to come off or not, or if the motor is a sealed unit. Any ideas on how to remove it, or am I p***ing into the wind? Thanks in advance.

It might be a sealed unit - but have you tried removing the screws in the centre, it might then come apart there.

Blup
 
Thx, I found that aswell. The blower wheel on the end simply prices off the spindle, releasing the black cover. However, no visible brushes on the motor. Not sure what else to look at as a fix Any suggestions at the pump end of things??
