Ego mower problem

[timm1]

I am working on a ego lm2150sp mower but not sure which part is faulty. The battery is good and after I hit the switch and pull the bail toward the handle the blade will spin. I am not getting current to the self propelled drive. The mower is a lm21550sp and it has 3 controlers. a larger one with fins on it and 2 smaller controls. The middle small controler has a green light on when you insert the battery and would appreciate any help to diagnosis the problem.

Several YouTube videos on troubleshooting. Here are two

.
Also, powerplusparts, cutlers and partswarehouse have some exploded parts diagrams for this mower.

Let us know how it goes. I’m an Ego mower owner and a bit disappointed that Ego’s business model emphasizes sales and marketing over customer support.

Just another product taking advantage of current trends, idealogy and dreams unfortunately.

On the self propelled board we finally found the fuse but not sure how to remove it.

On the power plus site they sell a product that attaches to the ego self propelled board which will bypass the fuse that is soldered on the board part is ego 2830216002

ctrl/alt/delete because it's not fuel/air/spark
Sorry. I had to.

Hi I am not understanding the last message.

Use the "reply" or "Quote function so we know who you're directing this to.
Probably me and it was a joke.
It's an electric mower so "reboot the mower using the CTRL/ALT/Delete function" because
It's not fuel air spark.

Are you sure the fuse is bad? On mine the wiring harness failed by the handle telescope locks, which is the fold point for the harness. With mine it defaulted to the slowest speed but that's to say that could be the only result of a broken wire.

 

[timm1]

Yes we tested the fuse no good.

On a Windows computer the CTRL/ALT/Delete function to force it to reboot was known as the 3 finger salute. Google is your friend... sort of...

Ryobi, B+D homeowner stuff is all like that. Repair isn't usually an option on handheld tools. I use both but didn't expect tools for a lifetime.

 

[timm1]

You are right i am also working on a Wyobi push mower and I eliminated the handle lock switch and when I try touching the remaining 3 wres from the handle I get no lights or motor. I also have a bolt laying across where the bagger piece fits in and I can feel a slight magnet force that comes from the 3 wire square block that bolts to the under side of the v shape in the mower housing.

 

[timm1]

I gave up on the wyobi mower. I figured out the circuit board has to be bad. I received the new fuses for the ego mower but I can't figure out where it would plug in to the motor board.

 

[gregs]

Typically it its soldered to a separate skinny board that has two red wires. But I doubt thats your problem since the blade works. Its probably going to be the SP drive motor or controller board.

 

[timm1]

It is the controler board but can't find a empty plug to plug it in too

 

[Shiftless]

Is it a current trend for manufacturers to solder in those fuses?

I suppose it would hurt sales of replacement mowers if a user could simply remove and replace a plug in fuse instead of buying a new mower.

 

[gregs]

If the fuse you got has a plug then you simply unplug the old one and plug in the new one. If you bought just an aftermarket fuse (cheaper) then you have to desolder and resolder it. FWIW they make a lot of different models and you have to make sure you are using the correct model number and version to look up parts.

Is Wyobi an amazon brand? Never heard of it before. Sounds like a knock off of Ryobi.

 

[timm1]

Supposedly ego made those replacement plug in fuses.

 

[timm1]

I found out that is the main fuse which plugs in the yellow plug because when i disconnect the plug the blade will not spin so I guess the drive board is bad.
