Broke my mower, dang!

[A-58]

Dear dudes,

I'm having trouble with my Kobalt electric lawnmower. I was cutting grass yesterday and hit a metal stake in the ground as I was turning it. The blade stopped abruptly. Couldn't get it to start again. I called a few shops and nobody seems to work on electric mowers. At one shop the guy said that I should hit the restart button to see if that helps. He said that I might have to remove a lid or cover to get to it. If that didn't work I could drop it by his shop and he'd have a look at it. Does anyone know if this works? Many thanks in advance.

I bet you blew a fuse or blew some part of the electrical system. Not worth fixing IMO. Go get a gas mower, unless you're a tree hugger. My Honda HR215 hit a metal screw-in stake for the dogs and it simply shredded it and tossed it into the bagger like it was nothing! Couple dings on the blade but no other damage to the mower. Gas mowers are better than electric mowers any day.

I highly doubt that you will find anyone to work on that thing.

Nope, I'm not a tree hugger. The electric mower was a Christmas gift from my Mom several years back. It worked fine until I broke it yesterday. Good cutting too. Hopefully I can get it going without buying another one. Thanks.

That's what it's looking like. Dang.

Ok, I get that. I guess I'll help ya. Do you have a multimeter? Do you have any electrical experience? If you could find the model number of the mower or/and upload some pics that would be a good start.
