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.

Thank you - you saved me from buying a new mower!
Thank you for making this video. I’m sure it has helped many people.
Thanks so much Buddy! My lawn was looking BAD! You are a lifesaver
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 👍👍
Bro, thank you! I start disassembling it but thought there had to be an easier explanation. Thank you!
Mine just stopped working out the blue. I pray this is my issue! Thank you
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.
You're a hero, sir.
For the P2 I’m struggling trying to find the interlock
Years later and still helping .. Thanks man.
It worked! Thank you!!
The new machines don't have this issue anymore, it now has a spring inside. My machine will not start. :(
Thanks! I knew I saw or touched that before but didn't remember to mess with it again
I have tried this with no luck. I can feel the motor twitch and then nothing. Only used it once!
This is my issue
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 ?
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.
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.
It works for us. Thank you for this video which saved us a lot of time. My friend gave us this used lawnmower and we couldn’t figure out how to get it started. Thanks again.
I hit a high patch of grass and it shut down and wouldnt start again. I gave it a rest, came back and smoke started coming from under the red cover....
Thank you so much.
Shuld get the 60 volt
To do my lawn at home I would probably need 4 9ah bats
Looks like a simple small yard mower
Use 9 ah for bigger yard
Thank you, you just saved me a lot of hair pulling 🙏😁
I Just Bought Mines On Memorial-Day, I Haven’t Used It Yet Due To The Rain…However, Thank You For This Information….🙌
Doing the good work here 👏
Model CMCMWSP220 2x20V MAX* Self‑Propelled Lawn Mower. Any advice for this model not staying on? cuts off after 2 to 3 minutes?
Same problem here. Sometimes it will run for a few mins, sometimes it turn off after 1 second. What did you figure out with yours?
Amazing that Craftsman themselves sent me to this video. Sheesh.
Your the Freaking truth man thank you saved us money today
Thank you!!! You are amazing. Push the button and the pull the handle lever in.
Fiddling with a safety lock beats the living hell out of messing with oil, spark plugs, screwing with the rip cord and your shoulder
Does anyone know the measurements for the discharge chute?
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! 🤘🏽
My safety spring is out and it's still not turning on any suggestions
Just being curious I found this video after already fixing it! Same problem. Took the top and handle off to Ohm all the wires out until I found 2 little green wires😂
Every time I see an electronic lawnmower I always want to engine swap it
I said it saved me me but the mower stopped the second time I tried after adjusting level. Can’t get it started again. Interlock is up
Really saved my ass. Thanks
Man this helped a lot. Thanks
Thank you! Great video. Now our 2 year old machine works again!!!!
Where is the mower's date code?
The date code is under the rear bagger's swing door.
You are the man THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I knew that it had to be something simple!!! I’m so happy for your video, I really appreciate you sharing. May you always be blessed!!
I just got one of these. Haven’t used it yet. Thank you so much.
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?
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.
BROOOO YOU MADE MY LIFE SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER WITH THIS VIDEO 🔥🤌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🤌🏼🔥
Is there any vids on here on how to take the wheels off?
This video can be reduced to thirty seconds... "Is your safety on? No, it isn't? Must be broken." Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
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.
This happened to me a when I brought it out from storage after the winter. Thank you for this info.
