Common Lawn Mower Problems and How to Fix Them

A well-maintained lawn mower is essential for keeping your yard looking its best. However, like any mechanical equipment, lawn mowers can encounter problems. Here are some common issues and their solutions.

1. Lawn Mower Won’t Start

Possible Causes: Old fuel, clogged air filter, faulty spark plug, or a dead battery (for electric models).

Solution: Replace the fuel if it’s older than 30 days. Clean or replace the air filter. Check the spark plug and replace if necessary. For battery-powered mowers, ensure the battery is fully charged.

2. Uneven Cutting

Possible Causes: Dull or damaged blades, uneven tire pressure, or a bent mower deck.

Solution: Sharpen or replace the blades. Check tire pressure and adjust as needed. Inspect the mower deck for damage and straighten if necessary.

3. Excessive Vibration

Possible Causes: Loose or unbalanced blades, damaged engine mounts, or debris stuck in the cutting deck.

Solution: Tighten or balance the blades. Check engine mounts for wear and replace if needed. Clean the cutting deck thoroughly.

4. Engine Overheating

Possible Causes: Dirty cooling fins, low oil level, or clogged air filter.

Solution: Clean the cooling fins. Check and refill the oil if low. Replace the air filter if dirty.

5. Poor Performance in Wet Grass

Possible Causes: Wet grass clippings clogging the deck or dull blades.

Solution: Mow when the grass is dry. Clean the deck after each use. Sharpen the blades regularly.
