Product Information
Full details
The Kärcher Replacement Lock (part number 5.628-086.3) is an essential maintenance component designed specifically for owners of the WD 2 PLUS vacuum cleaner series. Its primary benefit is ensuring an airtight seal for the dirt container, which is critical for maintaining suction power and preventing debris leakage during operation. While this part is highly durable and easy to install, users must verify their specific vacuum model number before purchase, as it is strictly engineered for the WD 2 PLUS series and is not universal for all Kärcher machines.

FAQs
Is this part compatible with my WD 3 vacuum?
No, this specific part (5.628-086.3) is designed exclusively for the WD 2 PLUS series.
Do I need any tools to replace the lock?
No, the replacement lock is designed for a simple snap-in, tool-free installation.
How do I know if my lock is broken?
Signs include the container feeling loose, the lid not sitting flush, or a noticeable decrease in suction power accompanied by a whistling noise.
Does this package include the container seal?
No, this item is the replacement locking mechanism only.
Why is the lock black in color?
The black color matches the standard aesthetic of the WD 2 PLUS series vacuum cleaner components.
Troubleshooting
The lock will not click into place
Check the housing for trapped debris or dirt buildup and clear it with a brush before re-attempting the installation.
Vacuum still loses suction after replacement
Verify that the rubber seal around the container rim is clean and intact, as the lock alone cannot compensate for a damaged or dirty secondary gasket.

Care Instructions
To extend the life of your new lock, avoid forcing the container shut if it is overfilled, as this puts unnecessary stress on the locking mechanism. Regularly wipe the contact points with a dry cloth to prevent dust buildup from interfering with the closure mechanism.
