    Why doesn't the battery charge indicator light up on my Worx WG168E?
    • P
      perryphillipSep 12, 2025
      The battery charge indicator on your Worx Trimmer might not light up because the plug of the battery charger is not plugged in properly; ensure the charger plug is securely connected. Another reason could be a defective socket outlet, mains cable, or battery charger; check and replace any defective components.

    What does it mean when the battery charge indicator on my Worx WG168E is continuously lit and I can't charge it?
    • M
      Michael TaylorSep 9, 2025
      A continuously lit battery charge indicator on your Worx Trimmer, with no charging possible, suggests that the battery is not properly inserted, so insert the battery properly. The battery contacts might also be contaminated, so clean the battery contacts. Alternatively, the battery itself could be defective, so replace the battery.

    Why is the cutting time per battery charge so low on my Worx WG168E Trimmer?
    • M
      Monica WaltonSep 7, 2025
      The cutting time per battery charge on your Worx Trimmer may be too low because the battery hasn't been used for a long period or has only been charged for a short term, so improve battery usage and charging routine. It could also be that the grass is too high, so trim the grass to a lower height. Alternatively, the battery may be defective, so replace it.
