GREAT VIDEO. WELL DONE!

My Ego LM2135SP lawnmower attempts to start but stops after a few seconds. The orange light is solid. When I try again, it won’t even attempt to start and just shows a solid orange indicator immediately. Removing the battery and reinserting it got it to start for a few seconds before stopping again. Battery is fully charged. Deck is clean with no obstructions. Self-propel and LED lights work fine. After removing the blade and attempting to start, I noticed that the mower runs for about 10 seconds longer than with a blade attached. While I didn’t look at how fast the motor was spinning, it did sound slow. Any ideas what could be wrong?

The light on the handle of my 2150sp is blinking green and won’t start. The self propel works and both handle bar switches are engaging. I have tried everything I can think of. I don’t know what else to do.

I had the same problem, i watched the video and started to disassemble. I removed the cover to start troubleshooting, i noticed that there is a switch mounted on the right side , lokking atitfrom the rear of the mower. I put the battery in and applied pressure back towards the cam off theswing arm for the handle. And the drive motor was working again. Made a wedge and placed it behind the switch to take up the wear. Back in business!

My EGO LM2102SP lawnmower started making a rough noise and won't run. I had just finished cutting the front lawn and took it to the back when it started doing it. Battery is fully charged.

Does this address the problem where it seems to be "slipping"?

Very helpful. Many thx

where do I get the stick and the software?

Can I get a free mower?

So I replaced the PCBA but I don't see where the brown wire connects on my mower. I see the white wire but no red wire on that side. Any thoughts?

Thank you very much this is super helpful!

Where do I find the schematics/diagram for the wiring? Error code 401 (right motor loose connection) keeps coming up on the dashboard yet I cannot find any "loose" wires or partial plug connection issues etc. Perhaps I'm in the wrong area? DD

Where can I purchase a new PCBA for the LM2150SP?

Thanks for the video. To the comment about diagnosing the problem instead of replacing the harness, this happened to me last year and I did just that (ran another wire to bypass the one that failed). It is very difficult to do as there is very little room to work with, and then it failed again this year. Last year when I did this there were parts everywhere and took me forever to reassemble, this had some good tips for keeping things together.. I guess the main issue is that EGO seems to have a design issue with these failing so frequently.

Good video, but kind of vague, most people don't know using heat shrink tubing and putting it on before soldering or how to solder or cut wiring/ connections without making it a headache if they cut too close to a connection. Could be more clear on assuming people have lil skill or just using wiring connectors to attach 2 pieces of wires.

My mower is approximately 10 years old oh and I mowed half the yard and when I went back after charging the battery it would not do anything whatsoever

Took me over a minute to realize that I was watching a mower tech video. cool song and tech h

I like❤

Is web legit try the store? Monday to the jail ish do of El panò MI guestà!

Hi Matt! Great video! I have a stage 2 2400 snowblower that I purchased late 2021. Yesterday I hit a stick that got caught on the impeller. We got 5 feet of snow in South Lake Tahoe! Once I removed the stick the light was flashing orange. I was looking at forum and the website about the orange light. I let my batteries rest for 15 minuets. Came back and nothing. I called support and they weren’t much of a help. The closes tech is in Sacramento (2 1/2 hour drive). The road to Sacramento is closed due to heavy snow. Also I don’t have the receipt… which is a lesson learned on my part. The credit card I bought with the snowblower is no longer in active as of 2022. There was no broken shear pins. The impeller could only make 1/4 of a full turn before it gets “locked”. I’m assuming I might need a new motor and gear assembly? I came across your video through a Reddit post. Any advise? Thank you for your time!! 🙏🏼

Worst advise for soldering ever. Power wires, (40 amp), cant just be stuck together freehand with solder. Use a proper twisted connection or better crimp and solder connector plug inline.

What about a self propelled drive works but low power only no speed change

Do these self-propelled mowers use belts like gas mowers?

Helpful, great video. Thank you.

Mine makes a loud banging sound when the auger is engaged. I can see scratch marks where the impeller spins, but when I hand turn the auger the impeller is not hitting the housing. Any thoughts?

Hi Matt- my 2 stage 2400 is a year old. EGO won't honor the warranty because I can't find the receipt. I'm in Alaska so there is no service center. I hit a dog bone, did not shear the pins, and now the wheels will turn but the auger goes "clunk", orange flashing light, and auger won't turn. Its unfortunate that the shear pin design doesnt protect the rest of the blower. After talking to tech support, I tried replacing the electronic assembly ($350). Nope. In the other comments you mention a gear case. I see a couple of options for gear case in the parts list. Any ideas on which part it could be? I have the blower fully disassembled in my garage.

I am surprised nothing was greased from the factory on the wheel shaft or the augers or bushings.

Matt I am having similar issues with my snow blower. Amber/orange light flashing when I engage the auger. I had rocks in my auger that I cleaned out and it appears the impeller had rocks as well. I have cleaned all these out and still have the same lights happening. I am not the original owner of the blower. I bought the house and the original owner had recently purchased the snow blower from ACE Hardware. Knowing this will not be covered by warranty I feel I will be replacing the gear case on my own. Is there any other possible cause before I purchase the replacement parts? Thanks.

Very nicely done. I love my Ego equipment but getting repairs in my area is crazy slow.

Hi Matt! EGO customer and fan here, and just watched this out of curiosity. I couldnt help but notice all of your comment replies here, and I simply wanted to take s moment to say a sincere Thank You for your efforts and helpful knowledge and attitude! 👍🙂

I think this might be my solution. Now if I could only contact the company..lol 5 year warranty if you can get in touch with them…

Matt - I'm having the same issue as others in this comment section. First use of my SNT2400 yesterday only to have the auger not engage after picking up a rock in the Impeller. Flashing green light to orange when depressing the auger lever. Contacted customer service and after multiple conversations and emails they set up a warranty service repair at Northern Tool in Minnesota. Contacted the Northern Tool store and was told that it would be 5-8 weeks... obviously unacceptable. The unit was purchased at Lowes but given that Northern Tool was shown to be a preferred repair center and Lowes is not, I figured that was a better route to take. Apparently not. I reached back out to customer service via the previous email exchanges and received an autoreply that the case was closed and I'd have to call them... which I did but was on hold and now waiting for a callback. Any advice?

Hello , can you tell me if the headlights are controlled by this PCB you have replaced please ? My headlights are stuck on. I’ve tried removing the battery hoping to reset everything but that hasn’t worked. I’m not sure if I need a new switch assembly or a new PCB A.

I just bought my snowblower a month ago first snow storm 10-13 cm I start my cleaning after 15 min it stopped working I try to restart it but the power button on the machine (not the battery) flashes orange I contacted the warranty service to open a case he refers me to the first shop I call him he tells me that he does not deal with the guarantee I call back they refer me to a 2nd shop he tells me the same thing and then they refer me to a 3rd tells me the same thing I do not know what to do anymore

This video was very helpful. I've had two gear case assemblies ruined by a jammed impeller. Not the auger, but the impeller. The cotter pin in the impeller shaft does not shear, and gear assembly is just not beefy enough - so it get's ruined (the pot metal case cracks open).

Thanks Matt. This is exactly what I needed to troubleshoot my no power issue on a non working but unused Z6 that apparently sat outside Lowes so long in the elements it waterlogged the LCD panel. When I opened up the LCD panel it was so badly water damaged that the desiccant pack had exploded the tiny beads everywhere - it looked like it had an army of brown rust colored insect eggs infested in it!

Hey Matt, love your videos man! I just picked up a non working EGO 42" ZTR. The start/stop switch is lit with batteries but nothing else (The batteries light up when inserted into the battery bay). No sounds and no startup of the LCD screen. I'm guessing I have a bad LCD panel or perhaps the whole LCD control box needs to be replaced unless I can troubleshoot the components under the LCD control box. I have a working 42" ZTR. Would you suggest trying to swap out the working LCD to test or better to dissasemble the control box and test the components individually to isolate the problem?

thanks for sharing ! are the Power unit heads for ML2100 and LM2100 SP the same ?

Hi Matt! I’m having some trouble reassembling my LM2130SP where the power button is, there’s two micro switches there and one of them I can not figure out how it goes. It just seems to be loose and not sitting well any way I put it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

the 6 screws that hold down the top cover, are they hex or torx, what size bit did you use ?

Useful information, but I think my gear case is jammed (and I don't have a replacement), and the tool is still under warranty, so I took it to a service center yesterday. Here's hoping!

I wonder about a couple of things. It seems inline butt splices could have been used instead of soldering the wires back together. And, yeah, that red wire solder connection won't last. Other thing is why not troubleshoot the problem instead of just swapping the harness? The problem was one wire, most likely, having broken in the assembly near the switch or at the switch. Could have been a simpler, and less time consuming, repair.

Ego 2-stage stn 24xx are probably good snowblowers , but where i live it is so freaking difficult to get one repaired by ego service dealers because most of them will only repair Ego that they have sold. They don't take units sold by their competitors (lowes, walmart, costco etc..) if your ego doesn't come from a specific dealer/service , good luck having it fixed. You have to call Ego main line and they will only provide you a list of dealers which again brings you to square 1. Eventually you will find a dealer that will accept to take a look at your stn24xx. But that dealer/service is probably 1h or more driving distance which will cost you alot if you hire someone to transport the thing. If you have a van or a truck all you need is a pair of extra arms, but if you don't have a truck or van.. you're just out of luck . Some dealers i called who don't sell Ego told me to stay away from Ego as it uses plastics parts and other parts that fail, like the white self propelled unit which is plastic…probably solid but plastic is plastic…and to fix the problem you need to swap the broken part.. they seem easy to fix, but you just need to know which one to replace (could be a pcb) and most importantly, you have to be able to order those parts somehow.. im not sure if a dealer will sell you the parts. So again the Ego stn is probably a good snowblower but for warranty service, it might not be the best choice unless you live next to an Ego dealer and bought your unit from them. and ofcourse hope they will remain in service for next 20 years and that the parts for discontinued products are still available, So i went with the Toro e26 not because it is better but because the dealership service is only 10 min driving distance so it will cost me less than a $100 bucks to transport (doesn't fit my car). And that dealer have been in business for 50 years, selling Toro, Ariens, Stilth .and they are repairing 30 years old snowblowers still. The toro e26 aside from the electric motorized engine.. the rest are just the same axle , pulleys and belts found on the gas version…it was a safer bet. Im not some toro fanboy btw, in fact i never bought one before the e26. And i did purchase an ego stn2410 which i returned to the store after thinking about it few nights. I didn't like the high pitch hisss loud sound coming from the electric motor. I know it is normal but still i didn't like that sound. But i can say one thing, they are good looking snowblower, black green.. really nice looking. Also easy to move around and their battery are robust compared to toro. Also like their charger.. im thinking about painting my Toro when the warranty expire to make it look like the Ego…. I’m kidding.

The problem I’m having is my mow stopped abruptly. I have a full battery and the green lights are on the battery and handlebar but I can’t get anything work including the led lights.

I would add grease to that shaft to prevent rust issues while at it

What bit are you using for the battery and service cover?

Very well explained.

I have a question Matt - My Ego 2 stage is broken. I ran over a dog rawhide that became stuck in the impeller. When I removed it, I didnt see any visible damage to the impeller. I start the snowblower back up and then it shuts off after a second of trying to spin. When I spin the impeller, it spins almost a full spin and then stops. It will not go any further. I can do the same thing in the opposite direction and it does the same. I spoke to Ego for this and because I ran over the rawhide, it's not covered under warranty. There is also not a repair station near my location. Do you have any advise on this? From watching your video here, It seems like it could be the gearbox that has broken teeth on the gears possibly? I'm not fully sure. Again, no damage visually on the outside. The snow blower does turn on and starts to spin and after all of one second, it just stops and the red led light flashes. I find it odd that if i turn the auger manually, it spins almost a full spin and comes to a stop, almost as if something is blocking it from spinning. Any ideas on this?

only self propel doesn’t work, why?

At about 1:30 you show how to test for a short in the switch assembly and that if moving the handle turns it on, to replace the switch assembly? But which switch? Isn’t there one for the handle position, one to make sure the handle is fully extended, one for the bail, and one for the green button? And are there instructions for replacing it?
