Greenworks Overload Protection Cycling

Robot mower stops frequently with blades off but no error code; resumes after a short time.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Grass too tall or dense, Cutting height set too low, Dull blades increasing load, Partially seized blade motor

Safety first: Turn OFF the mower and wear gloves.

Raise cutting height: Increase the height setting and mow in stages if the grass is very tall.
Sharpen/replace blades: Install new Greenworks-compatible blades to reduce cutting resistance.
Check for binding: Clean around the blade disc and ensure it spins freely by hand.

If the mower still stops frequently under light load, the blade motor may be failing and should be replaced.
