Possible Causes

Main PCB hardware failure, Corrupted firmware, Short circuit on internal 5V/12V rails, Moisture damage on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the mower, disconnect the battery, and keep it in a dry indoor area.

  • Drying period: If the mower was exposed to heavy rain or washing, allow it to dry for 24–48 hours in a warm, ventilated space.
  • Visual inspection: Open the housing and inspect the main PCB for corrosion, burn marks, or water traces. Do not scrape components.
  • Connector check: Reseat all multi‑pin connectors to ensure good contact.
  • Firmware reload (if supported): Follow Cub Cadet service instructions to reload firmware via service port or USB.

Persistent E020 usually indicates a failed main control board that must be replaced by an authorized service center.
