Electric start button quit working
Edward - December 3, 2018
Tool Type
Snowblower
Difficulty
Medium
Time
30-60 minutes
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Socket set, Wrench Set, Torx driver
1. Removed the plastic cover which also holds the gas tank.
2. Removed the plastic housing that contains the electric start button.
3. Removed a side panel to gain access to the electric start motor. Cut the ty-rap that helps hold the motor in place and removed the motor. It was not easy getting at the bolts that secures the motor to the machine. Torx drivers and sockets are needed to remove the bolts. I was hoping the motor was still good because the snowblower is old and the motor is not made anymore. The motor was good. I replaced the switch and plugged it into an extension cord and pushed the new button and the motor ran. I then put the motor back on the snowblower and screwed the covers back on.
4. I had to wait a while for the parts to get to me because ReplacementParts had to wait for the manufacturer to ship them. I highly recommend ReplacementParts.com and will be a returning customer if I need parts.
