What to do if ALDI FERREX GDSS72N motor does not run?

P

If the motor of your ALDI Trimmer isn't running, there are several potential causes. First, the battery might be empty; in this case, charge the battery. Another possibility is that the motor’s overload protection has been triggered because the motor is overloaded or overheated. If this is the case, allow the device to cool down for 15–20 minutes. If the problem persists, it could be a faulty battery or on/off switch, requiring you to contact customer service.
