Your video helped me to fault find and repair my Flymo lawn mower. Exactly the same fault, a broken wire where it had been repeatedly pushed into the handle. Thank you for posting!
Well, my Flymo just stopped working. Saw your video and thought why not give it a try. Thank you, it actually worked for me as well. Flymo obviously have a design fault on their hand.. Well done, great tip. If your Flymo stops, give this a go. 😃😃😃
This just happened to our mower and it started working again after I tried your fix 😊, thanks for taking the time to post your video, you're a life saver, uhhh mower saver😂. Subscribed!
Spot on! I did actually know about this (and have actually fixed the mower when it had this problem before) but your video jogged my memory - very many thanks!
Thank you. Without having test equipment had assumed it was the micro switch and replaced this without any effect. I was just about to give up when I saw your vid. Didn’t really believe that crimping quite heavy duty cable would damage it but lacking the ability to test it I just cut out the last 6 inches and reconnected and it solved the problem. This seems to be a real design flaw. What do they do to that cable?! Thank you so much
Thanks Max, I think it's the constant swaying of the Cable where it goes into the handle causes the individual strands of wires to break inside of the cord over time. Happy you managed to successfully resolve 😁.
Thanks for the help mine did the same yesterday but your explanation gave the the push to dig out my multimeter and diagnose and repair the same issue 👍🏼
My one stopped working, I checked the brushes and found some grass cuttings were behind the brushes stopping the connection to the motor. I cleaned them out and gave a squirt of WD40, working perfectly again now. 👍 Pretty poor design tho, Flymo should fit a cover that keeps the cuttings away from the motor mechanism and armature. Hate to imagine how many perfectly good machines have been scrapped and replaced for the sake of a quick easy fix.
Thanks Pinky, yes many of these units and other device are discarded where the most probably could have been easily repaired unfortunately, and yes cutting can be sucked into some odd places inside 😀.
