Possible Causes

Boundary wire buried too deep, Strong electromagnetic interference, Faulty loop sensor in mower, Boundary wire not powered consistently

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the mower and disconnect the base power before modifying the boundary wire.

Steps to check:

  • Wire depth: Ensure the boundary wire is at or just below the surface (no deeper than recommended by Worx).
  • Avoid interference: Keep the boundary wire away from power cables, metal fences, and irrigation wiring.
  • Check base LED: Confirm the charging base LED shows a stable loop signal.
  • Test another area: Observe mower behavior in different parts of the lawn to see if the issue is localized.

When to call a technician: If the mower consistently fails to detect the loop with a correct installation, the internal loop sensor or main board may need replacement.
