Karcher k2 compact keeps running after supplying power

I think am jinxed because now the pressure washer isn't working correctly.

I was happily blasting through the dirt on my car, when all of a sudden the pressure washer switched itself off.

I let it cool down for over half an hour and it still wouldn't switch on.

Naturally I opened it up to see if the motor was bad. That's when I noticed the hose clamp was stuck. I had to pry it off with a flat head screwdriver.

I removed the hose and got spat at. Now it switches on but it keeps running.

I took it apart with the water supply still connected but I didn't see any obvious leaks.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
yeah, we’ve faced similar issues with the Kärcher K2 Compact and it keeps running after supplying powerat
at gouttiere drummondville . While cleaning gutters, the pressure washer suddenly switched off, then wouldn’t turn back on even after cooling down. After some troubleshooting, we discovered a blocked hose and an airlock, just like you, and once we cleared it, the pressure washer was good to go again.
