Charging station blocked – Automower® error message
The message Charging station blocked appears when the mower is unable to dock properly after several attempts, often due to poor contact between the charging strips on the mower and the contact plates on the charging station or due to obstacles in the docking path.
Common causes:
Obstructions in the charging station area: Leaves, toys or garden debris can block the mower’s entry to the charging station. Remove any objects that may block the mower’s path to the charging station.
Uneven ground under the charging station: Even slight dips can cause misalignment of the charging station baseplate. Level the ground with sand or soil if needed to ensure the baseplate is not bent.
No contact between the charging plates on the mower and in the charging station: Unplug the charging station from the power supply. Check for oxidation on the contact plates or the charging strips. Clean them with a fine abrasive pad or contact cleaner, if needed. Place the mower in the charging station and make sure that the charging plates and contact plates make good contact.
Loose or damaged power cable connections: Unplug the charging station from the power supply. Check the power cable connections at the charging station. Re-fit connectors if loose.
Faulty circuit board or signal issues: If you checked the steps above and the error persists, the charging station circuit board may be damaged. Contact a Husqvarna dealer for inspection and eventual replacement.
For boundary wire installations
Incorrect guide wire layout: Ensure the guide wire is laid in a straight line of at least 2 m (7 ft) in front of the station.
Loose or damaged guide wires: Check the guide wire connections underneath the station. Re-fit connectors if loose.
