electric lawn mower will not start

sacbaker · 12-14-2008, 06:54 AM

Well, bought an electric lawn mower and thought it would never not start. I was wrong.

I tried to start the mover and it does not work. I checked the connections and cords.

Any quick ideas.

Thanks

Used I'm assuming? If it's an MTD they had problems with the switch in the handle.

verify the extenstion cord is working. make-sure you didn't trip a breaker or something. or if its on a GFCI circuit check to see it hasn't tripped.

Does it have a reset button on the motor?
