Possible Causes

Mower operating in direct sun at high ambient temperature, Blocked ventilation around electronics, Overloaded motors generating excess heat, Faulty temperature sensor on main board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the mower and move it to a shaded, cool area.

  • Allow to cool: Let the mower sit powered OFF for at least 30–60 minutes.
  • Check ventilation: Inspect vents and cooling slots for dust, grass, or spider webs. Clean with a soft brush.
  • Adjust schedule: Program mowing times for early morning or late evening to avoid peak heat.
  • Inspect for overload: If the mower is frequently cutting very tall or wet grass, raise the cutting height and mow more often.
  • If E18 appears even when cool: The Temperature Sensor or main board may be faulty and should be tested and replaced by a technician.
