Possible Causes
Wheel jammed by debris or hole, Excessive slope beyond Robomow spec, Worn or damaged wheel gear, Faulty drive motor or gearbox
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn the mower OFF and remove it from the slope or obstacle area before inspection.
- Check wheels for obstructions: Inspect both drive wheels for stones, branches, or packed mud between the wheel and chassis. Remove any debris.
- Inspect lawn conditions: Verify the mower is not operating on slopes steeper than the model's rated maximum. Fill holes or ruts that can trap a wheel.
- Spin wheels by hand: With power OFF, lift one side at a time and rotate the wheel. It should turn smoothly with some gearbox resistance but no grinding or binding.
- Check wheel treads: Worn treads can cause slipping and overload. Replace the wheel if the tread is significantly worn.
- Reset and test: Place the mower on level ground, power ON, clear the error, and start a manual mow. Observe if one wheel hesitates or makes noise.
- If E6 recurs on one side: The corresponding drive motor/gearbox assembly may be failing and should be replaced as a unit.
