Troubleshooting your Black & Decker leaf blower when it won't run
Finding the right Black & Decker leaf blower parts is easier to do when you know what the problem is. If your leaf blower won't start, follow these troubleshooting steps to identify and fix common problems.
- Check the power source. Ensure the electrical outlet is functional. If the outlet has no power, reset the circuit breaker.
- Inspect the extension cord. A frayed or damaged extension cord can prevent the blower from operating. Replace it if needed.
- Test the power switch. Use a multimeter to check for continuity. If there is no continuity when the switch is turned on, replace the switch.
- Examine the blower fan motor. If the motor receives power but does not run, replace it to restore functionality.
