The light and motor do not work when engaged. However, self propel works normally. I did all the fuse, battery, PCB, and motor tests and everything passed. Does that mean there’s something wrong with the handle assembly? How can I troubleshoot that?

@matterwin8635 12 сағат бұрын

there is not much on the handle check wires and switches for continuity and low resistance. sound like something in the main pcba you tested the circuit but there are other issues that can not tested.

Hi Matt, I have a Ego 2100 Push Behind, I hit a rock a few weeks back, and the mower died. Wont run, but I have power. Headlights turn on. I tested my fuse with a multimeter and it passes. I tried removing the blade and inspected around the area and do not see anything that shouts broken or needing to be fixed. Could the rock have killed the motor? Or is there anything else I can test? Have not tested the pcba but will do that when I grab some zip ties. Thanks, Tyler

Hi Matt. I have got Ego Lm2100 for the last 5-6 years. I convert it to two blades from one blade because it was not picking up the grass in the grass collector. But now it was doing well with the only difference that it consumes more energy. Today suddenly when I was mowing the lawn suddenly smoke started coming out of it. After removing battery and after an hour when I tried to start, smoke startrd again. I thought that motor has burnt. Then I dissassembled it and found that motor was OK rather the electric circuit unit has burnt down and the wires leading to the motor burnt from the electric unit. Then I saw your video, which is for Ego Lm2100SP. I just researched for that electric unit for LM2100, which says ego electric assembly #2830119001. Should I replace this part to fix my lawn mower, because I don't know whether this is the correct part to be replaced. Please advise me if my lawn mower is fixed with this part whether I should stick to two blades or one blade. Thanks.

My Ego LM2135SP lawnmower attempts to start but stops after a few seconds. The orange light is solid. When I try again, it won’t even attempt to start and just shows a solid orange indicator immediately. Removing the battery and reinserting it got it to start for a few seconds before stopping again. Battery is fully charged. Deck is clean with no obstructions. Self-propel and LED lights work fine. After removing the blade and attempting to start, I noticed that the mower runs for about 10 seconds longer than with a blade attached. While I didn’t look at how fast the motor was spinning, it did sound slow. Any ideas what could be wrong?

Thanks for the video. To the comment about diagnosing the problem instead of replacing the harness, this happened to me last year and I did just that (ran another wire to bypass the one that failed). It is very difficult to do as there is very little room to work with, and then it failed again this year. Last year when I did this there were parts everywhere and took me forever to reassemble, this had some good tips for keeping things together.. I guess the main issue is that EGO seems to have a design issue with these failing so frequently.

@matterwin8635 4 ай бұрын

the issue is from folding the unit for storage and the wire bends and over time brake. the reason to do the switch assembly over one wire is that you fix that wire and the other are stressed and mite brake at anytime. that is why we recommend it that way. if your unit is still under coverage from factory this is covered repair. the newer have a redesign on the handle to help with this.

Hi Matt! Great video! I have a stage 2 2400 snowblower that I purchased late 2021. Yesterday I hit a stick that got caught on the impeller. We got 5 feet of snow in South Lake Tahoe! Once I removed the stick the light was flashing orange. I was looking at forum and the website about the orange light. I let my batteries rest for 15 minuets. Came back and nothing. I called support and they weren’t much of a help. The closes tech is in Sacramento (2 1/2 hour drive). The road to Sacramento is closed due to heavy snow. Also I don’t have the receipt… which is a lesson learned on my part. The credit card I bought with the snowblower is no longer in active as of 2022. There was no broken shear pins. The impeller could only make 1/4 of a full turn before it gets “locked”. I’m assuming I might need a new motor and gear assembly? I came across your video through a Reddit post. Any advise?
