Craftsman 2x20Volt (Model CMCMW220 or CMCMW220P2)Brushless Lawnmower How to Fix if it Will Not Start
If you have a Craftsman 2x20 Volt brushless lawnmower model number CMCMW220 or CMCMW220P2 and it does not work out of the box, after a few uses, or after being folded for storage this video details the location of the safety interlock and how to get the lawn mower to function. It is most likely NOT actually broken right out of the box, there is a poorly designed interlock on the right side of the mower that needs to be pulled into the correct position.

    you should be getting a commission from craftsman was on hold and emails all day with support I could not find that safety switch and was about to return it to the store glad I found your video you would think that is relevent info enough to include in instructions or even put a warning label on the mower... bad practice on their part. Thanks for posting 👍👍

    Thank you. I’ve been using UA-cam since the old school original iPhone days. I almost never comment. But I have to say, thank you. That was my issue. I’ve had the mower for 4 YEARS and haven’t ever folded down the push arms. It worked out of the box for me, and hast stopped, ever. Until I broke the back level adjuster and replaced it. Set the mower back up and went to use it and bam. Nothing. Took apart the handle, battery connect points, looking for a blown fuse, nothing. Never even know about that switch. Thanks again man. Totally helpful.

    When I hold down the side button and pull back the red lever I don’t get a click sound anymore and my mower refuses to start. Any advice on that ?

  • @lracnosral

    Quit i/2 way through the first mowing. Daughter bought the thing. I would never buy a modern Craftsman product, I own Craftsman power tools that I bought in the 1970s, and with new brushes, they still run fine, I have 40-50-year-old C'man wrenches that are still great. New stuff is not the same. Too bad. It was once a quality product. By the way thanks for the tip. That is not this mower's problem. Going to disassemble the safety mechanism assembly and see what's up in there.

  • @JimBarela-l8e
    @JimBarela-l8e 3 місяці тому

    We were having the same issue, but it wasn’t the safety lock out lever. It was the button on the side of the handle that you push before pulling the lever down to start it. Seems on ours, you really have to push that button firmly and with even pressure before pulling the lever down to start it. Maybe the button has become a little worn. Might be worth a try for you all that this video didn’t work for.

    Thank you so much for the information. I had replaced my lawnmower blade and when I went to start it. It was dead. I never noticed that switch cuz it blended in so well. It was 1 month out of warranty. So I thought it was a warranty gremlin. 😂 I’m good to go now. Thx you the man! 🤘🏽

    The safety interlock is all the way up and still don't work! On mine this interlock returns by itself and don't start. It's anything else to put it to work?

    • @RalphHerran

      Try calling the toll free Craftsman support number on the rear bagger's swing door lable near the left corner and request a warranty replacement mower.

    Spray paint the wheel retainer clips to slow the rust down, if you wash the mower off as you should the wheel retaining clips will rust and crumble fast and the wheels will come off. 3 of mine came off so I put half inch OD collars on mine and now it's good.
