How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Immediately turn OFF the mower and disconnect the charging station. Do not continue to operate a mower that smells of burning.
- Inspect for blockage: Check the cutting deck and wheels for heavy grass buildup or foreign objects causing drag.
- Allow cooling: Let the mower cool completely before further inspection.
- Check ventilation: Ensure all cooling slots and vents in the housing are clear of debris.
- Test motor rotation: Manually rotate the cutting disc and wheels. If any motor feels rough or stiff, replace that motor assembly.
- Do not ignore: Persistent overheating indicates a serious fault. Replace the affected motor or consult an Einhell service center to prevent fire risk.
