How To Fix A Greenworks Pro 60V Lawn Mower That Won't Start

[@janisezack1610]

This literally happened to me 10 mins. ago as I attempted to mow my yard. Thank You.

[@JoelRodriguez-kx5zo]

Mine died after it crushed a big bone I had on my backyard. I guess the impact fried the main board. I changed the board and now it is back running. Thank you for posting this vid. It saved me a ton of money.

[@sergek6377]

I’m glad I was able to help you! 👍🏼

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

That's kind of funny - I'm gonna avoid those tree roots and such now - didn't realize how sensitive these motors are.

[@ClemsonTiger75]

I don't even use my Greenworks 60V mower if the grass is wet (like early mornings when the dew is on the grass). I had serious issues using my electric dethatcher on wet grass, and I had to completely disassemble it and use an air compressor to blow all the moisture out of the electronics. I finally got it working, so I learned a cheap lesson. Water and Electric components do NOT mix.

[@teresaburchell1750]

Wow.... that's all I can say about that comment

[@michaeltang50]

Thank you for sharing your video! I’m learning how to fix my Greenworks lawnmower too.❤

[@cynthiamccann8595]

Thanks Serge (and Joel)! It seems like this will fix the issue of my mower not starting after a rather large root or limb piece mysteriously connected with my mower!!! Sounds exactly like in your video. Part ordered!!! Thanks so much!

[@sergek6377]

I’m glad the video helped you Cynthia!

[@NikonF5user]

Did the part arrive? I have the same exact issue (from a wooden block strike). If the part did arrive, did it work properly? Also,.if you're agreeable, how much was it?

[@teresaburchell1750]

What was the part that was ordered and what was the mower doing in order for you to determine the problem?

[@timhoblin9464]

Another thing might be in the switch on the handle. I had mowed, then stopped for awhile. Went back and it wouldn't start. Figured i'd check the switch. Took it apart (be careful ) there's some springs in there. I don't know what was wrong, but i put it back together and it worked. So that's a possibility.

[@kevk741]

Thank you for taking the time to mention that. I’m guessing that is my issue and was wondering what it was like getting inside it!

[@psdaengr911]

Works as long as replacement parts are available.

[@peterim1863]

You too can fix your own Greenworks lawn mower! All you need is a second Greenworks lawn mower that isn't broken. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

[@sergek6377]

Haha😂 I just had one handy to make the video, the part was en route and would take a few days to be delivered.

[@sergek6377]

@N V No, I couldn’t find it on their. I ordered it from the website in the description of the video.

[@JustaPairofPants]

He told you how to find the part # on your lawn mower and gave you a link to the part he used to fix it. Idk what more you want.

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

@@JustaPairofPants Only he might have a different type of Greenworks mowers - they only sell one version I realize (or is it a dozen?).

[@machs70]

Greenworks seems to have problems with the pcb boards on their tools, I replaced them on two separate 80volt snow blowers.

[@bob_atwestmi_fl_us7812]

Very informative, some good info.

[@cynthiazwergel2561]

dumb question but I can't get the screws out to get to the part. They don't look like regular philips screws

[@jz1939]

They are not Phillips they are called high torques. Probably a T20.

[@aerofpv2109]

Good insight. BTW I like your friends Greenworks flippies.

[@tonyslawncare]

Super cool bro thanks for making

[@barbwatson8723]

Would this be the same for an 80V? I am finding very little about the 80V

[@brotherofthesnake8833]

Great video very informative , I was just wondering how to test the pc board if one doesn't have a second mower ?

[@melissaford9037]

Where can I get the mother board? Thanks

[@Cello69.]

My greenworks blade is loose. Not the blade itself but whatever its attached to (obviously the motor). The whole thing got loose somehow. Its causing a lot of vibration and noise as well as strain on the battery. Is there a way to tighten the whole thing down?

[@JayGood73]

Very informative. Could this also be a similar issue with the battery? On my 5ah battery (that shows battery life bars) you can hear the motor "click" but never spin, I've swapped batteries between tools, so I know its this one battery issue.

[@randybordeau477]

Hey I can't seem to get my pc board down far enough to close the lid any ideas.

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

Moral of the story - don't mow in the rain or by sprinklers. If you do - get a second mower - or I mean PCBoard to fix the fried motor problem. thanks

[@juicebowl]

Tried to find this board, but looks like it's discontinued pretty much everywhere. Lasted for about 5 years, a few weeks after the warranty ended.

[@ClemsonTiger75]

Great video BTW - I forgot to tell you that. It should help some people. These mowers are very costly. Hmmm - I wonder if placing that part into a container of rice for a few days (like you do cell phones) might allow that part to work again?

[@sergek6377]

Maybe if the part was more than $15 I’d try to do that.. But it’s fairly inexpensive for such an expensive lawnmower

[@mrbrown6421]

Just The Truth! I store all equipment in massive dry ice bins. Sometimes, I might sprinkle in some cinnamon or other spices. Oddly, the rare burned scrambled ostrich eggs have also served to preserve many electronic and gas powered devices. A very old neighbor tosses in his sun baked dog piles, and has reported amazing success at restoring pliability to used Trojans conDUMBs.

[@ClemsonTiger75]

@@mrbrown6421 lol - I wish I had known that sooner.

[@mikedallas237]

Anybody know the part number for the self-propelled version? Still 60v.

[@offensivegamers1440]

Need some help, I’m lawnmower has eight connections and no serial number

[@teresaburchell1750]

Would be curious to know what a part like that costs? It looks to be pretty self contained?

good question Teresa, I wish they would answer it too...

[@teresaburchell1750]

@@carolburnett8372 Good morning Ms Carol, that comment I made was so long ago, I'd like to know what it was that I commented on, cuz I'm kinda lost. Was it about the battery operated mower?

[@sharonpoore3205]

The shaft is loose on our Greenworks 60V lawnmower and we can't figure out how to tighten it or even get to it...HELP

[@lileeky1]

What if it’s a 80v the pc number is 3620115 I can’t find anything on it What do you think ?

[@BLACKOUT_OPERATIONS]

I have the same lawnmower, I left it out in the rain what should I do

[@mrbrown6421]

QUESTION: "I have the same lawnmower, I left it out in the rain what should I do" ANSWER: 1. Bring it inside, give it warm chocolate, 2 aspirins and sing to it till it falls asleep. Then, tomorrow, you can give it a funeral, cuz its D-E-A-D. 2. Then, slam your head into a wall for destruction of Chinese manufactured equipment. Good Luck!!!

[@mgomez5606]

What causes motor to lose power after mowing for a while?

[@sergek6377]

Either the battery is dying or the auto throttling feature.

[@mgomez5606]

@@sergek6377 Is the auto throttle part controlled by board you replaced?

[@karenkubik7779]

Hmm. You just kinda talked me out of an e..mower.. maybe I will just get a gas powered with auto start. The pull start one I have is just getting to be too much for me. Usually have to pull it like 20 times b4 it starts and my arms can’t take that anymore. No one wants to cut your lawn anymore either unless I give them 100 bucks..when they did it previously for 30 . My property is like small too..about 10 - 15 mins work. 🤦‍♀️

[@ProfessorCDG1906]

That's the best move. I feel like I bought a Fisher Price toy mower instead of an actual mower that will do the job. I am disappointed.

[@peterblackburn3285]

Cant seem to find the chip anywhere been looking for 4 months anyone know where I may find one

[@robbyballentine2784]

Mine is making the same sound. I hit a stump. No water involved.

Were you able to fix it?

[@tspfl9073]

Great mower until it wasn't. Mine's a Kobalt 80v and for 3 years it ran like a top. Kobalt, Greenworks, Snapper and other 80v battery mowers all came out of the same Chinese factory with different paint jobs. Anyway, as if it had some sort of built-in countdown timer, after 3 years my mower will run about 8 minutes then die. Hours later, same thing, so it's clearly the dang PCB. After it cools off a bit you get another 8 minutes of fun. Those control PCBs are about impossible to find. The battery is fine since the string trimmer still works. 5 year warranty ? ! Ya, good luck. Lowes tells ya "don't bring it here, call Kobalt". Doubtless they will make ya prove ya bought it with a 3 year old receipt that's so faded you can't read it, then they'll offer $50 off a new one. Especially annoying since it's such a simple electrical circuit. All the stupid board does is supply voltage to the blade motor and the propulsion motor.
