  Amanda TurnerAug 19, 2025
  If the electric starter on your Powersmart Snow Blower won't crank the engine, begin by verifying that the power supply is working and that the extension cord is properly connected. A tripped breaker could be the cause. Also, ensure that you are using an extension cord with the correct rating and length. Finally, make sure the CHOKE lever is in the RUN position, not ON or partially ON.

What causes a Powersmart PSSW24 Snow Blower engine to run erratic, stall, or lose power?
- D

  If your Powersmart Snow Blower engine runs erratically, stalls, or seems low on power, several factors could be the cause. First, the fuel might be old or stale; in this case, empty and clean the fuel tank and carburetor, then refill with fresh gasoline. A blocked or clogged fuel system or line could also be the problem, requiring cleaning. The carburetor itself might need cleaning. Inspect the spark plug wire to ensure it's tightly connected. A faulty spark plug could also be the issue, so clean, adjust the gap, or replace it. If the engine oil is overfilled, drain it to the proper level, ensuring it's not above the top two threads of the LOWER fill plug. Conversely, if the engine oil level is low or empty, add oil.

Why is there no drive movement in my Powersmart PSSW24 when the drive handle is engaged?
- E

  If your Powersmart Snow Blower has no forward or reverse drive movement when the drive handle is engaged, start by checking the drive belt tension pulley for damage or incorrect tension, repairing as necessary, and replace the drive belt if needed. Also, the friction drive wheel may be worn or damaged and require replacement. If the friction drive wheel is wet or slipping, allow the snow blower to dry or warm up, and adjust the drive cable tension if necessary. Lastly, inspect the wheel to axle pins and replace any that are broken or missing.

What causes the drive to stay engaged on my Powersmart PSSW24 Snow Blower when the handle is released?
- A
  Alicia StevensonSep 9, 2025
  If the drive on your Powersmart Snow Blower is engaged even when the drive control handle is released, it could be due to a binding drive control cable that won't release; in this case, repair or replace the cable as necessary. Alternatively, the friction drive wheel return spring might be broken or missing, requiring replacement. Adjust the cable as necessary after replacing the spring.
