Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the mower and wear gloves before inspecting the cutting system.
- Check for obstructions: Ensure nothing is blocking the cutting disc from turning.
- Listen for motor: When starting a manual mow (with mower upright and safe), listen for the cutting motor. If silent, suspect electrical issues.
- Inspect wiring (advanced): If accessible, verify that the cutting motor connector is firmly attached to the main wiring harness.
- Service: If the motor does not run and wiring is intact, the cutting motor or its driver circuit on the PCB likely needs replacement.
