Karcher FJ6 foam nozzle not foaming? - How to fix it.

Easy fix showing what to do if your Karcher FJ6 foam cannon is not producing much foam. If your karcher foam cannon is not working properly you can easily restore its foaming ability with this simple fix. The Karcher FJ6 foam nozzle can become blocked and stop the foam solution being pulled up into the water flow if you don't clean it after use. This video shows how to use a citric acid solution to clean and unblock the nozzle.

Thnaks for the tip to flush out the nozzel with water once you're done. I'm getting one today

[@bigtedshome]

Thanks for commenting Billy. It's definitely worth the little bit of extra effort to flush out the nozzle after every use.

[@cornishrider]

Excellent I just tried with vinegar and hot water and it worked! Wish I discovered this video sooner!

[@bigtedshome]

That's great. Thanks for your feedback 👍

You can also full a bucket only with water, and without the bottle (only with the tube) can use your pressure washer to pump the clear water to rinse the gun, after every foam use

[@bigtedshome]

Yes, I agree. That is the best way to keep the nozzle clean. If you do this every time you use the foam cannon, it will not get blocked.

[@samhail2007]

What liquid are you using? It looks good!

[@bigtedshome]

Thanks for commenting Brian. I was using Dirtbusters cherry snow foam in this video. You can find it on amazon or ebay.

[@EddieVanPee]

Can I use a kettle descaler

[@bigtedshome]

I don't see why not. Plastics are not normally affected by weak acids.

[@county5]

Am I using this foam cannon incorrectly? Or is it pretty crappie, I pretty much have to run around the car before the container empties it just empties the reservoir in about 2 minutes

[@bigtedshome]

The FJ6 has a smaller tank than most foam cannons but you should still be able to get around your car easily enough. The snow foam you use will make a difference. You can turn the dial down with thicker foams and the detergent in the tank will last longer. I find that autoglym polar blast normally produces the thickest foam.

[@hackim1990]

Wth I’ve tried various shampoos mine never created thick foam, even when brand new. I thought the product was just bad. What is your concentration? Do you leave empty space of fill it all the way?

[@bigtedshome]

This video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eF67aWSjZbuEp6s from 1:30 shows the snow foam, concentration and how full the fj6 is when I use it. To increase the foam thickness you can increase the concentration of the snow foam. I find that AutoGlym Polar Blast gives the thickest foam.

[@khizarhayat2937]

My foam gun doesn’t even spray water when connected and it creates a lot of pressure in the hose. How to Fix it?. Without the foam Gun the pressure washer works perfectly fine

[@bigtedshome]

You nozzle must be totally blocked if you can't even get water through it. Unlike most foam cannons, I don't think you can't strip this model down to clean each part so you could try repeating the method shown in the video. Good luck.

@@bigtedshome I've got the same problem. It used to work and I naïvely didn't rinse it after using it. Will give this a try before splashing out (no pun intended!) on a new - but perhaps different brand - one. Thanks for uploading!

[@bigtedshome]

@@Gareth.W good luck 👍

[@fzfa22]

Can i use salt??

[@bigtedshome]

I've not tried salt. You need to use something that will break down the solidified foam which is blocking the nozzle. Vinegar is acidic and should work like the citric acid or you could just try hot water.

[@fzfa22]

@@bigtedshome alright thanks a lot man

[@darkbassi5911]

Bugger tried it. Didn't work got me

[@bigtedshome]

You could try a higher concentration or alternatively, try a solvent like white spirit instead. Good luck!

[@darkbassi5911]

@@bigtedshome tried vinegar and a machine washing machine cleaner.

[@bigtedshome]

@darkbassi5911 If they haven't worked you might want to give up now before you spend more on trying to clean the nozzle than it costs for a new one 😂
