Bosch Rotak 34R not working

Hi

I was happily cutting the grass this morning and got halfway through and the mower just stopped. I initially thought it may have cut out but it has been over an hour now. I have tried fuse etc, no blockages, cable seems ok.  I left it and put the height of the cut up as suggested in the manual.Any other ideas?

    Is there any sound from the motor or is it completely dead?  If there is any motor noise it could be a broken drive belt.

    Have you tried plugging it in to a different socket?

    Are you using an extension cable with a separate fuse that may have blown?

    If there's power getting to the motor and nothing is happening, the something more serious may be wrong.
    Is there an internal fuse?

    I'd give customer support a call in the morning and see if they have any suggestions

    Not sure.  I have a friend who is an engineer is going to try and have a look at it for me.  Just have to have a half cut lawn till next week!!

    Hope it's ok - and not expensive to fix
