How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the mower and disconnect it from the charging station before connecting any programming tools.

  • Power cycle: Turn the main switch OFF for at least 60 seconds, then ON again. Sometimes a full reset clears temporary software faults.
  • Factory reset: If the menu is accessible, perform a factory reset according to the Einhell user manual. Note that this may erase custom settings.
  • Reapply firmware: If Einhell provides firmware updates via USB or service tool, reload the correct firmware version for your model, following official instructions carefully.
  • Check for update interruptions: Ensure that any previous update was not interrupted by power loss. If it was, a full reflash by a service center may be required.
  • Mainboard replacement: If E20 persists after software recovery attempts, the mainboard memory may be defective and the board should be replaced.
