When to Call a Professional
Contact a Husqvarna service technician if the wheel motor remains blocked after thorough cleaning, if you notice damaged wheel components, if the error persists after multiple cleaning attempts, or if the wheel makes grinding noises when turning. Professional service is also needed if the motor itself has failed.Frequently Asked Questions
What causes Husqvarna Automower Error 22?
Error 22 is caused by the rear left wheel motor becoming blocked, usually due to grass clippings, debris, twigs, or small objects getting tangled around the wheel mechanism. Heavy, wet grass conditions increase the likelihood of this error occurring.
Can I prevent Automower Error 22 from happening?
Yes, regular maintenance helps prevent Error 22. Clean your mower weekly during mowing season, avoid mowing wet grass when possible, keep the lawn free of debris like sticks and toys, and ensure your cutting height isn't set too low for your grass conditions.
Is it safe to clean the Automower wheels myself?
Yes, cleaning the wheels is safe when proper precautions are taken. Always turn off the mower completely, wear work gloves, and ensure all moving parts have stopped before beginning. Never attempt repairs while the mower is powered on.
How often should I clean my Husqvarna Automower wheels?
Clean the wheels and underside of your Automower weekly during active mowing season, or more frequently if you're mowing in conditions with heavy grass clippings or debris. Regular cleaning prevents most blockage-related errors.
What if Error 22 comes back after cleaning?
If Error 22 returns frequently, check for underlying issues like cutting height being too low, mowing in overly wet conditions, or excessive debris in your lawn. Persistent errors after thorough cleaning may indicate wheel motor damage requiring professional service.
