Flymo Repair & Servicing

Symptoms: Mower dead, intermittent power, or trips the RCD/breaker when switched on

Typical fix: Inspect the full cable length, replace cable and strain-relief, test earth and continuity for safety before return

High — a damaged cable is a genuine electric-shock hazard

Symptoms: No motor hum when the trigger is pressed, dead switchbox

Typical fix: Test cable continuity, the on/off switch and trigger interlock, and check the thermal cut-out has reset

High — machine unusable until traced

Symptoms: Motor bogs down in long grass, stops and needs a rest before restarting

Typical fix: Replace worn motor brushes, clear blocked cooling vents, fit a sharp balanced blade so the motor isn't overloaded

Moderate — usually brushes, blade or overheating

Symptoms: Hover mower sits down on the lawn, heavy to push, scalps in places

Typical fix: Replace the cracked or worn hover fan/impeller, clear debris from the housing, set the correct cutting height

Low–moderate — affects use but not safety

Symptoms: Mower vibrates, leaves an uneven finish, rattle from under the deck

Typical fix: Fit a new blade, replace a worn blade boss/metal disc, check the motor shaft for play

High — a loose blade is a safety hazard and wrecks the motor bearings

Symptoms: Battery won't charge, very short run-time, or the charger shows a fault light

Typical fix: Test the battery and charger and replace the failed part — many run-time complaints are an aged battery rather than the mower

Moderate — common on older Li-ion Flymos
