Possible Causes

Defective lift sensor switch, Broken lift sensor wiring, Misaligned sensor actuator, Contaminated sensor mechanism with dirt

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Never lift the mower while the blades are running. Turn OFF the main switch before inspection.

  • Check for dirt: Inspect the area where the lift sensor is located (often near the front or handle) and remove any dirt or grass that could block movement.
  • Operate sensor (if accessible): Gently move the part of the housing that actuates the lift sensor and listen for a click. Lack of movement may indicate a mechanical issue.
  • Reboot: Turn the mower ON and test on flat ground. If E19 appears without lifting, the sensor or wiring is likely faulty.
  • Repair: Replacement of the lift sensor assembly or repair of its wiring is usually required and may involve opening the housing.
