Frequently Asked Questions

What causes Error E1 on Worx Landroid?

Error E1 is triggered when the blade motor detects excessive resistance.
The most common causes are grass clippings compacted under the deck, sticks, stones, or a worn blade dragging.

How often should I clean under the Landroid deck?

Clean under the cutting deck every 1–2 weeks during the mowing season.
Built-up grass compacts over time and increases the risk of Error E1.

Can Error E1 damage the Landroid motor?

Repeated blocked-blade events can shorten the blade motor life.
Keep blades clean and replace worn cutting blades every season or as recommended by Worx.
