The 40-volt mower is a self-propelled mower with a 20-inch cutting width. It comes with a 5.0 Ah battery and charger, and it can run for up to 30 minutes on a single charge.

Kobalt Lawn Mower Replacement Part

Buying from Lowe’s

• Check Lowe’s website: As Kobalt lawn mowers are sold by Lowe’s, their website is a good first place to look. You can search for parts by your mower’s model number. Here’s how to find your model number:

Troubleshooting

Since Kobalt lawn mowers are electric (corded or cordless), troubleshooting will focus on electrical components and general maintenance. Here are some steps to troubleshoot common Kobalt lawn mower problems:

For all Kobalt lawn mowers (corded and cordless):

• Check the power source:
  • Corded: Ensure the cord is securely plugged into the outlet and the outlet itself is functioning.
  • Cordless: Verify the battery is charged and properly inserted into the mower. If the battery is removable, try a different charged battery (if available) to rule out a battery issue.
• General maintenance:
  • Make sure the grass catcher or bag is not full, as this can reduce airflow and power.
  • Check the blade for dullness or damage. A dull blade can strain the motor and reduce cutting efficiency. Sharpen or replace the blade as needed.
  • Clear any grass clippings or debris buildup from under the mower deck and around the blade. This can prevent proper mowing and air circulation to the motor.

For cordless Kobalt lawn mowers:

• Battery issues: If the mower doesn’t start even with a charged battery, there might be a problem with the battery itself or the connection between the battery and the mower.
  • Check for any visible corrosion or damage to the battery terminals. Clean the terminals if necessary.
  • Refer to your Kobalt lawn mower manual for instructions on resetting the mower (if applicable).
