Why Kärcher Lawn Mower shows 'Cal: signal weak'?
- E
  Edward AndersonSep 15, 2025
  If your Kärcher Lawn Mower shows 'CN017: Cal: signal weak' error, it could be due to a loop signal that is too weak, no loop signal, or a faulty boundary cable. To fix this, place the appliance at the prescribed calibrating position, aligning it precisely at right angles. Also, check the power source of the charging station by disconnecting and reconnecting the power supply, and inspect the boundary cable for damage.

What to do if Kärcher Lawn Mower shows 'CN038: Battery' error?
- B
  Belinda RosarioAug 25, 2025
  The 'Battery' error on your Kärcher Lawn Mower can be caused by several factors. Here's what you can do: * If the rechargeable battery is flat, ensure the boundary cable is correctly located. * If the loop of the boundary cable is too long or has too many islands, correct the boundary cable's location. * If there's no contact to the charging contacts during charging: * Clean the charging contacts. * Place the appliance in the charging station, ensuring the charging contacts make contact. * If there are obstacles near the charging station, remove them. * If the appliance is stuck, place it on the designated grass surface. * If the appliance cannot find the charging station, check the boundary cable for damage.

  Mr. Wesley Morse Jr.Sep 8, 2025
  If your Kärcher Lawn Mower displays a 'Bad position' error (CN010), it could be because the appliance is outside the designated grass surface or the boundary cable has been routed in a criss-cross pattern. To resolve this, place the appliance on the free, designated grass surface and correct the location of the boundary cable around curves and obstacles, ensuring you eliminate any criss-crossing of the cable.
