Your electric mower is going to need some repair work done
every now and then, although most electric mowers that you purchase from the
store or from online will have a warranty associated with them. In such a case,
it’s best to get in touch with the seller of the item and request a repair or
replacement. Electric lawn mowers are environmentally-friendly and need a
constant connection to an electrical supply, making them better suited to small
properties. All models of electric mowers can be troubleshooted in the same
way. The need for professional repair may not even arise.
When it comes to lawnmowing in Simpsonville, you can either do it yourself using a lawn mower or
can call for professionals, such as the yard care professionals at the
acclaimed Curb Appeal Lawn Care in Simpsonville.
Some of the common problems associated with an electric
mower:
1. Overheating
is the most common problem. Air vents getting clogged up by cut grass and other
debris causes air circulation to the engine to cut off thus causing the mower
to overheat. Clean the air vents by removing the casing with them, or use an
air compressor to blow the debris out (if the casing can’t be removed).
2. Mower
stopping in mid-cut suddenly can be attributed to build up of too much grass on
the underside of the deck, which causes the drag on the blade to increase, thus
the motor tries to make up for it. The blades slowing with increased motor
noise before shutting off is another sign that can cause the mower to pop the
breaker. You’ll have to reset the breaker after cleaning out your deck after
unplugging.
3. If your
mower cord becomes frayed or broken, instead of replacing the whole thing use
wire cutters to remove the damaged section. This is when your mower comes with
a cord permanently attached.
4. You may
notice that your mower isn’t starting, this is mainly caused by a faulty
connection somewhere. If you are using an electric mower with a power cord, the
cord should be plugged in properly at both ends, and the outlet should carry enough
power for that particular electric mower. Make sure the power is on by checking
the circuit breaker.
5. Ensure the
mower's safety mechanism is not preventing the motor from starting as many lawn
mowers have a safety feature that stops children from starting the motor.
6. Electric
mowers will stop working if the blades are restricted from moving so turn your
mower over to see the blades after disconnecting it from the power supply. See
if any grass, sticks, leaves or other debris is preventing the blades from
turning.
Your mower may require more extensive repairs which will
require for you to know the mower parts and that might require professional
help.
