Excellent video. Except my version had 1 more screw you did not mention. it was at the rear just behind the bag access portal, inside the undercarriage and off set ti one side.
Mine had the extra one too. Had me confused for a bit 😂. My fix was a small extra shim added behind the catcher switch so it closed in full (it's normal plastic back seems to have moved slightly over time)
This video is super helpful. I just want to ad that my mower has exactly same screw location plus one extra screw on the bottom at the rear. It's very deep so get your long Phillips screwdriver.
I too had that one bottom rear center sort of along bag catch. ALSO beware of RIBBON CABLE remaining attached to the top Light Switch and Status readout on the rear of the cover.
Really appreciate your time preparing these; it's quite encouraging even though I have the 21" version. I'm hoping I just have a switch out of place... sudden stop while not even really cutting grass (just helping some over-seeding settle down), so I can't imagine I killed the motor. There was a brief flicker of the green light when I tried to restart and the battery works fine in a string trimmer.
Thanks a million, Virginia Fruit Grower ! I can see I missed a number of screws. I also see I'll need to get an extension for my cordless screwdriver. I'll give it another try later today and will report how I make out as well as my hopeful success at repairing this unit. Btw - a couple of notes. I did end up removing the bolts for the motor but now that I see you don't need to remove that, I think I'll put those back in. We were able to remove the wires on the battery box so we didn't have to remove the connection harness as you did. They're tight to get off, though my guess would be they're so tight to avoid their slipping off with vibration during normal operation. One thing I'll mention is that I have great electrical/electronics ability but not so great mechanical ability so while I have high hopes of diagnosing an electrical problem, your guidance in getting the cover off is most appreciated.
Best of luck my friend. I have had many requests over the past couple of years to post a video on how to remove the top assembly but have been dragging my feet on getting one posted until now. I am happy to help as best I can. Stay safe!
Also - This may help others. I actually did remove the blade even though you didn't. I just felt safer doing that since I was removing screws in that area even though the battery was already out. This is also a good time (I realized) for me to get the blade sharpened since it's never been sharpened in 6 years :-(.
Great video I just can't seem to get the back to release. The front cover comes up but can't get the back to release. I've thriple checkd and I believe all screw are out. Any additional help would be appreciated
Thanks a lot! Other than the screws I mentioned I don't remember any other hidden ones. I wonder if your model is slightly different. Maybe yanking a little on it a little will clue you in where it's still hung up. Good luck to you!
This was great. Do you have any intel, or know of another video, where I can replace the overload sensor? Or even where it is located? Mine is out of warranty and it seems that there isn't a place near where I live so I'm on my own.
Hi David, unfortunately I do not know where the overload sensor is. It does not seem like there is a ton of components on the motor so in may be easy to figure out once you get the cover off. I wish you luck with your repair!
Very good video. I have the 2020 self propelled and the right rear traction gears ⚙ seem to get jammed when pulling it. I just brought it home from Les lawn n tractor authorized service center and when I called them back they they told me they no longer service E-Go and for me to call them. So I did. Let see what happens..
Very useful video. Thanks for preparing it. One question though: to get access to the “service compartment”, i.e. the wiring area beneath the battery compartment, Do One need to unscrew the whole bottom section, i.e. bottom deck? My question boils down to: Can one remove the top tortoise shell ( includes battery compartment) without touching any of the numerous screws on the bottom deck?
Yes, I believe you can just remove the battery compartment without removing any screws from the bottom deck. Good luck with any repair that you may be working on.
I finally got the cover off, it was a hidden screw I missed. Where does the flat gray strap about 6" long connect to ? It has a series of female pins but I can't find where it connects. I don't remember disconnecting it Thanks in advance
@@VirginiaFruitGrower I watched this one ruclips.net/video/ZHqYqpD9eUs/видео.html and when you removed the cover there is a grayish flat strap that sits on top of the motor. I don't remember disconnecting it and can't see where it goes I appreciate your help. This is the best video on how to disassemble the cover
@@VirginiaFruitGrower Doesn't look like it connects to the battery boz. In your video which is great" Ego mower won't start / not starting DISASSEMBLY" Looking at the top view when you pulled off the cover you'll see a flat strap going from the camera right side of the motor going across the top and toward the near of the motor. Please let me know if you see it and were it connects. Thank you
Sorry I am just now getting notification of your comment. I wanted to thank you for watching and commenting Joseph. I hope you were able to fix your issue.
Did you manage to fix your lawn mower? Looks like a part of the plastic was slightly melted near the 3 wires that connect to the battery housing? Think I have the same problem. Caused by an electrical component on top of the motor.
Hi Dennis! There are three switches in this model that I saw. The one in the handle area I left alone. The one in the side by the handle I took out the spring. That way I could adjust the height of the handle to any setting and it would still operate. The switch in the base was the problem so I just bypassed it by cutting out the switch and using wire nuts to connect the wires directly to one another. I hope this makes sense.
@@VirginiaFruitGrower when messing around with the mower to begin with, I thought the problem may be with the switch where the key is inserted but remember seeing something as I was moving the handle to different positions so maybe the switch at the bottom is the issue. To be clear, I saw two red wires on one side and a white on the other side of that relay. You wired all three together, is that correct
@@dennispattarozzi5099 I did this some time ago so can't remember the exact specifics but I just followed the flow of electricity through the switch and wired up that way. Sorry I can't confirm specifically right now 😒
I'm not sure but it would be a good idea to clean underneath the deck which could be clogged with clippings and change or sharpen your blade. A dull blade will cause more load and work on the motor which may lead to stalling out. Good luck!!
@@VirginiaFruitGrower Thanks for the quick response. My yard is a little oversized for this mower but we've made due. I'm getting blades sharpened 2 - 3 times per year. Wasn't sure if there was something else going on. Might upgrade to a 21-inch deck and brushless, but the wife wants a ride on.
My 2100sp mower won’t start. The self propelled aspect works fine. I’ve noticed a yellow slow flashing light when I pull handle. Any advice? I also noticed one of the 4 nuts on the back of the handle is missing. Any idea what the proper name of this nut is so I can order from parts warehouse (that’s where they source from). I took the handle apart and was surprisingly difficult to reassemble. I also took bottom hood off and tried wiggling the wires without luck. Can the motor actually go bad?
I'm not sure what the yellow slow flashing light is exactly. I read that it could be that the motor is being stressed. Does the blade move freely? I'm sorry I don't know the name of the nut on the back of the handle. I bought a motor to replace mine but it was just the switches that were out of place and not engaging. I'm sure they could go bad if abused. Thanks for watching and best of luck with your repair.
Hi I am a rare fruit collector in Miami. Can you please tell me we're did you purchase your Pomegranate tree called (How Sweet It Is) I never heard of it.
Hi Rodney! I originally ordered my "How Sweet it is" as a cutting from the USDA National Clonal Germplasm, Davis California. There was a video on RUclips of a guy that briefly talked about the history of this variety but I can't seem to find it right now. I'll keep looking. Anyhow if you're interested I can try to air layer it and trade you for something ?

I wish I had read this 15 minutes before I realized what was holding mine up!
@@johnz9318 good job finding it in 15 minutes. I almost broke mine and gave it a few choice words before figuring it out.
I too had that one bottom rear center sort of along bag catch. ALSO beware of RIBBON CABLE remaining attached to the top Light Switch and Status readout on the rear of the cover.
@WilliamBaran thanks for the extra info about the ribbon cable.
I could never have done this without your guide. Thanks! You just saved me $400!
Hi JH! I'm really happy to have been able to help. I hope your mower continues to work for you now without any issues 😀
Thank you so much. I now have 2 working mowers!!!! #Salute
That's great news! I'm glad that they did not end up in a landfill. Have a great day 😀 👍

Is there a service interval for the brushed motors? My mower is five years old and I feel like it's stalling much more easily than it did when new.
