Ego Battery Powered Blower Quit Working-Fixed!

Lets look at an Ego 56 volt battery operated handheld blower that doesn't work. I break down the diagnosis to three major parts groups and show you how I test brushless motors. #smallenginerepair

This video saved me from buying a whole new blower. Mine went out two weeks after the warranty expired!!

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

@@dtitus74 Bummer about the warranty.

[@dtitus74]

@@TheGreasyShopRag yeah but this video saved me a lot of money. I’ve never messed with electronics on really anything but I got it working so I have this video to thank.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

@@dtitus74 Glad to hear it. Good job with the repair!

[@chrischiampo7647]

I Hate It When My Blower Has a Bigger EGO Than Me 😩😩😭 Lol Nice Diagnosis and Repair

[@mendonesiac]

As a dude that grew up in San Francisco in the 70s, I know that Ego death is never permanent... it always comes back. Have a great new year!

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Happy New Year!

[@hansenyedi2226]

Very informative, great job! mine just stopped working and I verified the battery voltage. I will resolve soon!

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

@@hansenyedi2226 Good luck with the repair!

[@bootleggerwarren9109]

getting ready to do this myself Thank you for the video. I'm going to just start off with the wire harness replacement. I'll tear it apart once the new harness is delivered!

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Good luck with your repair!

[@Idahoprepper71]

I got one of those about 5 years ago. Still works perfectly. And it gets a lot of use.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Yep, sometimes they(electronics) last forever.

[@MiguelMorales-ll6sy]

I just came here to enjoy the video thank you I don't eve have a leaf blower

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

EGO is my choice for electrics. I have their original mower, the blower that preceeds that model you fized, the original chainsaw version and original larger sized string trimmer. It not up to pro level chainsaw, wacker, backback blower standards, but still quite good. HAPPY NEW YEAR SCOTT!

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

We wanted to sell Ego at the shop but I guess we are too close to someone already selling. That didn't stop them from asking us to fix their stuff so maybe we'll see more on the channel. Happy new year to you!

Great job sorting that one out 👍🏼

Nice one, well done!

So how did you make this a warranty claim? I've had mine for about 3 years and now it wont do anything. Battery is good, checked motor and it is good also. Have no idea where my original receipt is...thinking it must be the control circuit.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

The customer contacted Ego, confirmed warranty status, and was given our information along with paperwork that basically said we could repair it if it was manufacturer defects. I don't make the actual claims with the manufacturers so I don't know any more than that.

[@GroundedFlyBoy]

I have this same problem. Great video, but I can only find the complete assembly for sale. Is there a source for just the control module? Thanks, Lew

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

I only get oem ego parts and those come as an assembly.

[@GroundedFlyBoy]

@@TheGreasyShopRag Thanks for the reply. Yes, I got the part number from your video which is for the assembly, but only saw you replace the module and was hoping you had a source. Order is on the way.

[@timosness3667]

I got the cfm750 and getting ready to make this repair on mine. Just stopped working all of a sudden.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Good luck with the repair and thanks for watching!

[@steveriggenbach90]

Thanks friend, do you know how much sleep you’re going to cause me. Thanks for a great video that I’ve been waiting for. Take care and have a great new year.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

I'm glad to have somehow helped. Good night!

[@steveriggenbach90]

@@TheGreasyShopRag I’m learning and when you give me things I need to know that’s great. I’ve rewound an old circular saw. Sprayed the windings. Done a lot of things but never knew about touching wires together. You can never be bored , unless YOU decide to be. Yes I enjoy the trade. Take care.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

@@steveriggenbach90 Well I try to keep looking for those odd tips. Thanks for watching!

[@99andrianmonk]

To test the blower motor, could you have connected it directly to the battery to see if it would spin?

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

If it was a two wire brushed motor then I could have.

[@jonathanfierberg3807]

If you didn’t figure this out it would have crushed your ego

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Lol!

[@steveriggenbach90]

Question on 445 Husqvarna bar oil vent. Having trouble finding quality information. Think it’s behind chain plate. Some say it has a duckbill others don’t. After turned off it continually leaks from several places. Oils probably, but seems to keep building pressure while just sitting. I think I found an IPL showing a duck bill with screen under bar plate. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Yes location is correct. Its a duckbill valve covered by a bronze sintered filter. Maybe its plugged up with schmutz.

[@steveriggenbach90]

@@TheGreasyShopRag thanks, Santa didn’t bring clutch removal tool. Now to look for local dealers. I like purchasing the correct tool for the job.

[@BruceLyeg]

Who makes a really good cordless electric blower?

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

I guess the proper answer involves the battery system a person has or wants to get in to. The latest units we sell are getting into the 600+ cfm range. Run time stinks for all of them despite what the packaging may say.

[@UpInSmoke54]

What magnetic pickup tool are you using?
