DeWALT DCST922 String Trimmer Failed in less than a year

[@charliebordes]

Mine is doing the same. I called them cause it has a 3 year warranty & they sent me a prepaid shipping label to send it off to get fixed. But at that one year point it seems to fail.

Wish I had seen this before purchasing, mine just died. Really disappointed in Dewalt.

[@J-Justice666]

Brushless motors have switching sensors that can blow burn up or get dirty.. You're getting power so it's not a wiring issue. Look inside the motor for dirty sensors.

[@madpogue]

This sounds like a promising potential explanation. Guess I'll start by blowing air into the motor area to clean it out.....

[@J-Justice666]

@@madpogue I've taken mine apart and it's full of grass.. probably keeping it from cooling properly.

Mine crapped the bed today. Dewalt is garbage. Going back to a gas trimmer, last one lasted 25 years.

[@PolygonSwan]

Mine too

[@karlcox7653]

I have had two of these fail now too with minimal use. I pulled one apart for inspection and cleaning and all wiring and solder joints look okay. Sounds like the mosfets can go on the circuit board....not worth buying another....which sucks because I love the cordless and have dewalt batteries. I don't want another set of batteries for a trimmer...

[@kris2fur64]

Damn, i have the same issue

[@wyattcekalla6335]

Just took my lower head apart and there was trim line in the gear. Wouldn’t make a noise trying to use but kind of an easy fix.

[@joshpitts25]

Yep I have same problem and yes wires melt I'm taking mine apart

[@Kissmei-ge8sk]

꺽기는 부분을 열어 커넥터 연결 되어 있는지 확인 해보세요

[@naokmoon1487]

how many minutes can you trim at high speed setting with a 6ah battery ?

[@gaggleduck1787]

13 months dead in the water like this one should have bought Ryobi

[@phaseboundary5323]

Light usage for barely a year and motor died, no replacements available, because these Dewalt trimmer motors are junk and don't last. Have many good Dewalt tools, except for their worthless trimmer, don't buy these until Dewalt gets a clue on motor reliability.

SAME EXACT STORY DEWALT IS GARBAGE

[@robertpartridge717]

Yep my xr 18v did exactly the same thing at 12 mths it kicks like that but wont turn, not what i expected from a dewalt product. plus out of hundreds of receipts ive lost this one.

[@tomdreesen1948]

Kind of similar with mine. Sensors look fine, bearings look fine, there is power. The thing is, it'll spin and rattle a bit. Then just stop. When turned by hand it sometimes starts spinning again for a while. I got the idea that something broke loos and is keeping the rotor from spinning freely.

[@ChaoSu-i9i]

The ring of balls connecting rotator to stator fall out. This is a design flaw.

[@MikeLaetzsch]

Same here, going back to gas powered !!

[@nesssmith5817]

The same problem...... A real garbage.

[@ogwc]

Same issue with mine. Useless after 1 year. Do not recommend buying this.

[@jitendersoni477]

i have the same issue..only used it once..

[@Rocky-xx2zg]

Same here. less than 2 years old. Junk. Off to the Stihl Dealer.

[@JamesPatBailey]

Smoke came out of the motor head on mine while trimming and now it does the same thing as in the video

[@alit868]

Mine did this today too, less than 1 month old :(

[@stephsteph2054]

Quel a été la solution ?

[@ChaoSu-i9i]

Figure out the root cause. The rotor is being hooked to stator over ring of balls. The the ring of ball is really easy to fall out if it ran into severe shake. As the motor is installed to head of this trimer, and the head keeps shaking when we use it. It means this design will cause this motor fall very easily This is a design flaw. It will guarantee the motor stop working after you use it severely. I will never buy any trimer that has head motor.

[@mrbwadding]

Loads of vids saying the wiring in the head section melt

[@gcmiv333]

It's a bearing issue
