My Karcher Model K3.99M has suffered frost damage

I think the inlet elbow (ES538422?) has ruptured. I have had the part out but can see no damage but before removed and when replaced mains water sprays out from the joint at the filter end. Is this a common point of failure with frost or is it likely to be the 'O' ring that is damaged? Do I have the correct replacement part number? If so I will place an order.

    Hi Dayk155ed, the inlet elbow is the most common point of failure on your washer. It could well have been that the washer wasn't fully drained of water when you stopped using it before the winter, and during the cold weather has frozen and caused the elbow to crack. This part is a like for like replacement for your K3.99M. Hope this helps.
