Husqvarna Automower With Corrosion On The Main Board: What Caused It And What To Check on Your Mower

Keeping moisture out of the chassis of your Automower is a very important part of keeping your Automower running and mowing like it should. In this video we show you a 430XH that had to have the main board replaced because of corrosion and damaged components on the main board that occurred because moisture found it's way into the mower. So how did the moisture get into this mower? In this case water came in through the grommets at the front of the mower where the headlight and charging plate wires enter the mower's lower chassis. As you'll see in this video it is VERY evident where the water came in and the evidence that proves that 2 of the 3 rubber grommets/plug were not installed correctly at some point and allowed water to enter the mower's chassis.

Thanks for the great video!! Will have to flip "Moe Mow" over on his back and check the grommets out. Keep the videos coming.

I wonder if the PCBs have any conformal coating that would prevent moisture to actually "touch" the copper or metallic parts. If not, giving them a good conformal coating with an spray may prevent any future surprises. If they are already coated I suppose it was either too much water or the coating wore out.

Thank you for the best video on the topic.

Is the main board where firmware updates are kept too. Recently had firmware update and mower now won't stay in charging station. Can this be reset or rolled back?

I’ve a four year old 315x that looks like it needs a main board. Amazed these boards aren’t waterproofed from the factory. These automowers definitely don’t represent value for money. I’ve replaced a faulty wheel motor, a battery and now need to do a main board.
