What to do if Husqvarna Lawn Mower engine will not turn over?
- T
  Tiffany MoonAug 21, 2025
  If the engine on your Husqvarna Lawn Mower won't turn over, make sure the brake pedal is depressed and the attachment clutch is disengaged. A weak or dead battery could also be the cause; try recharging or replacing it. Check for a blown fuse and replace it if necessary. Corroded battery terminals can prevent starting, so clean them. Also, inspect for loose or damaged wiring and check all wiring. Other potential issues include a faulty ignition switch (check/replace it) or a faulty solenoid or starter (check/replace them).

Poor cable connections can also prevent charging, so check and clean all connections.

Why Husqvarna 917.289560/YTH2348 has a poor and uneven cut?
- V
  Victoria WhiteheadAug 28, 2025
  An uneven cut with your Husqvarna Lawn Mower can be caused by a worn, bent, or loose blade, so replace the blade and tighten the blade bolt. Another reason could be that the mower deck isn't level, so level the mower deck. Also, check for a buildup of grass, leaves, and trash under the mower and clean the underside of the mower housing. A bent blade mandrel or clogged mower deck vent holes from buildup of grass, leaves, and trash around mandrels can also cause an uneven cut; replace the blade mandrel or clean around mandrels to open vent holes.

  Karen ChapmanAug 30, 2025
  If the blades on your Husqvarna Lawn Mower won't rotate, there might be an obstruction in the clutch mechanism, so remove any obstruction. It could also be a worn or damaged mower drive belt, which you'd need to replace. Other potential causes are a frozen idler pulley or a frozen blade mandrel, in which case you should replace the idler pulley or blade mandrel.

- E
  ethorntonSep 2, 2025
  If the headlight(s) on your Husqvarna Lawn Mower aren't working, first check if the light switch is 'OFF' and turn it 'ON'. If that doesn't solve the problem, the bulb(s) or lamp(s) may be burned out, so replace them. Other potential causes include a faulty light switch (check/replace it), loose or damaged wiring (check wiring and connections), or a blown fuse (replace the fuse).

Why is my Husqvarna Lawn Mower hard to start?
- M
  Mark KellySep 4, 2025
  A Husqvarna Lawn Mower that's hard to start may have a dirty air filter (clean or replace it), a bad spark plug (replace it), or a weak or dead battery (recharge or replace it). Other possible reasons include a dirty fuel filter (replace it), stale or dirty fuel (empty the fuel tank and refill it with fresh, clean gasoline), loose or damaged wiring (check all wiring), a carburetor out of adjustment, or engine valves out of adjustment.

  melissaboltonSep 6, 2025
  If your Husqvarna Lawn Mower engine clicks but doesn't start, the issue might stem from a weak or dead battery, so try recharging or replacing it. Corroded battery terminals can also cause this, so clean them thoroughly. Inspect the wiring for any loose connections or damage and check all wiring. Additionally, a faulty solenoid or starter could be the culprit, requiring you to check or replace them.

  Excessive vibration in your Husqvarna Lawn Mower could be due to a worn, bent, or loose blade. In this case, replace the blade and tighten the blade bolt. It could also be a bent blade mandrel, which would need replacing. Another cause may be loose or damaged parts; tighten any loose parts and replace any damaged ones.
