Question 1

How to resolve the issue of the stuck on/off button that prevents the complete entry of the PIN code on the KRESS Mission KR236E mower?

Accepted Answer

On the KRESS Mission KR236E mower, the on/off button is an essential part of the safety system. This switch must be activated before the mower can start with the PIN code. If this button is stuck or not functioning properly, starting the mower becomes impossible and you will not be able to access the numeric keypad to enter your four-digit PIN code.

According to the manual for your Mission KR236E, the device can only start when it is powered on (on/off button activated) AND the correct PIN code has been entered. The sequence is as follows: you first press the on/off button to power the device on, then you enter your four-digit PIN code that you set during the first startup. A stuck on/off button interrupts this sequence at the very first step.

The KRESS manual clearly states: "Never use the Mission KR236E when the on/off button is damaged". This means that continuing to use the device with this defect poses a safety risk and could damage the internal electronics.

Here’s what you need to do:

Do not try to force the on/off button - this could worsen the problem and damage the device's electronic system
Stop using it immediately - press the STOP button to turn off the mower and do not use it again until the issue is resolved
Contact your KRESS dealer or an authorized service center - this is a hardware defect that requires professional intervention. The on/off button will need to be repaired or replaced
Check your warranty documentation - the Mission KR236E comes with a 2-year warranty that may cover this type of hardware defect

Under no circumstances should you bypass this safety system or attempt to start the device using other methods. The PIN code and the on/off button are critical safety elements that prevent accidental starts and unauthorized use of your mower.

Question 2

What does the error "Disengagement error from the charging base" mean on the KRESS Mission KR173E robotic mower and how can it be resolved?

Accepted Answer

When your KRESS Mission KR173E robotic mower displays the error "Disengagement error from the charging base" and stops, it indicates a problem related to the disconnection mechanism between the robot and its charging station.

Possible causes:

The robot is poorly positioned on the charging base, preventing good contact or proper disengagement.
An obstacle or dirt is blocking the unlocking mechanism between the robot and the base.
A malfunction of the detection system or sensors of the charging base.
An electrical or software issue preventing the robot from leaving the station correctly.

Solutions to try:

Check that the robot is properly aligned and positioned on the charging base.
Carefully clean the contact area between the robot and the base, removing any dirt, grass, or debris.
Ensure that no obstacle is obstructing the unlocking mechanism.
Restart the robot by turning it off and then back on to reset the sensors.
If the problem persists, check the electrical connections of the base and the robot.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be necessary to contact KRESS customer service for a more in-depth diagnosis or repair.
