Has anyone experienced an issue where the unit (right out of the box) would start and run ... but would not turn off with the button? A call to Electrolux suggested this was due to me having not yet given it the 24 hour initial charge. Does this make...

I think i know what your talking about, the button seems flaky and didn't shut off for me too at first.

I had the same problem with a different unit and replaced it with this. Have you run the cleaning sheets through it? I would suggest that and as the other response suggested, try to get it to reset itself.

Mine is doing the same thing. But it does run strong for the few seconds it does run. Suspect the printed circuit board. It is a two speed motor, so if you tap the button a second time quickly before it turns off, it runs in the "low" mode.

It's been several months since we replaced ours, so only going on memory here. There was a 'one minute' button which would heat on high for one minute. If you enter say 530, it should heat for 5 minutes 30 seconds, at whatever power level selected. If it doesn't do that, it's defective. Try entering a time then hit the timer button, which should just time down and sound the alarm when the time is up. If that doesn't work either, you know it's defective. Good luck. (Our control panel worked fine for 10 years.)

Unless your hitting a button your not doing anything wrong.the whole system Turning completely off? Or just the screen. If it's the screen go to your settings and fix sleep timer. If the whole system is shutting down send it back. You've figured out that it's junk. I bought my daughter this for her birthday and 2 weeks later it started having problems. Screen going out. Running slow etc. Mine was refurbished though. So I thought that was the problem but apparently not. Because many are complaining about the same problem you are having and I had. Good luck to you.

I believe the button will need to be manually pressed as the power does not come on to the unit just by plugging it in. If you have frequent outages, have you considered using a UPS (universal power supply) to connect it, which can keep it running during short outages... In which case if the power comes back on shortly thereafter you won't need to manually restart since it won't have quit in the first place?

Sorry if this sounds too basic but if you dont depress the silver button first then the levers wont go up enough to start the machine also check the circuit breaker in your homes panel. If its not either of those, I would return it. Mine runs great!

What is it doing? Is it turning on? Are you doing everything as per the manual? We have used ours for hours at a time and we have NOT had any problems with it or with any of its components.

Sorry mine is electric start I just push the button. Although their was one start that took the mower some cranking before it started. Otherwise it has started every time without problem. I have used this lawn mower all this year.

This happened a couple of times to us. Pushed the reset button and it always starts back up. I thought it had something to do with our outlet...but maybe not. But the reset button always starts it right back up.

My unit ran nicely for 4 hours out of the box. After that, it wouldn't restart no matter what. I hope this helps.

Haven't had any problems, very satisfied....are you losing power or just unable to use? There is a control lock button on the unit controls that locks all functions, comes in handy when cleaning the control panel, stops the burners from coming on with buttons are pushed........

I don't know if this applies to your situation, but when I first installed mine and turned it on the unit had to run for about 3 or 4 minutes before the compressor kicked in. This has also been the case when I unplugged it to move to a different outlet. The operating manual does mention that this is normal.

I have used if for approx. 6 hours across the first year and now it no longer turns on. Probably a failure of the pressure switch. Out of warranty so it will be an ordeal to get it fixed for less than the cost of a new one from another manufacturer. I am starting to think that renting makes more sense. You won't use it very often (if you are like most people) and it probably won't work when you need it.

I have not had any problems yet. But I think the unit is not starting as fast as it did at first. But it is still heating as it should.

I owned 2. One was "Dead On Arrival", the second on only lasted for maybe 20 hours of operation. It worked well for the little time it worked. I now use an Electrolux Ergorapido. Much happier with it.

Did you turn it up on high? Mine had to be run on high for a few minutes and then could turn it down. I never really liked how it worked but waited too long to decide to return it and didn't. Hope you have better luck!
