- Check the power source: Ensure the lawn mower is connected to a power outlet and that the outlet is functioning correctly. Try plugging in another device to the same outlet to confirm.
- Inspect the power cord: Look for any damage or fraying to the power cord. A damaged cord can prevent power from reaching the lawn mower.
- Check the safety switch: Most electric lawn mowers have a safety switch that prevents accidental starts. Make sure the safety switch is engaged properly.
- Clean the mower deck: A dirty or clogged mower deck can prevent the blades from spinning, which can cause the mower to not start. Clean the deck thoroughly and remove any grass clippings or debris.
- Check the grass catcher: If the grass catcher is full or blocked, it can prevent the mower from starting. Empty or clean the grass catcher as needed.
- Check the blade engagement lever: Make sure the blade engagement lever is engaged properly. If the lever is not engaged, the blades will not spin, and the mower will not start.
- Check the battery: If your electric lawn mower is battery-powered, check the battery to ensure it is fully charged and properly connected. Replace the battery if necessary.
