Charging station blocked
Husqvarna Automower 'Charging station blocked': will not charge
Risk level
Low
Usually safe to check without specialist tools.
Urgency
Medium
Quick answer
The Automower has tried several times and cannot charge. Husqvarna points to poor contact between the plates, an object blocking the entry, a tilted station or a badly installed guide wire. Unplug the station, clean it and level the baseplate.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- Disconnect the power supply from the outlet before cleaning or maintaining the charging station and never use running water or a pressure washer on it. Do not lift the mower while it is parked in the station: push STOP and pull it out first.

Unplug and clean the station
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- push STOP and pull the mower out of the station before lifting it. Unplug the power supply from the outlet and remove grass, twigs and objects from the station. Do not use running water or a pressure washer on the station.
- Result that matters:
- nothing preventing the mower from entering.
- If there were objects or a lot of grass:
- clear them, plug back in and test charging.

- check the contact plates.
- Evidence to keep:
- photo of the station before and after cleaning.

Charging and contact plates
- Who:
- you, with the mower off, the station unplugged and wearing gloves.
- How:
- check whether the mower's charging plates and the station's contact plates are dirty or corroded. Husqvarna says to clean corroded plates with a fine grade emery cloth.
- Result that matters:
- clean plates that make good contact.
- If they were dirty or corroded:
- clean them, put the mower in the station and check it charges.
- If it still will not charge after cleaning:
- speak to an authorised service technician.
- Evidence to keep:
- photos of the plates before and after.

Baseplate level and guide wire
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- check that the station baseplate sits on level ground and is not bent, and that the guide wire leaves straight and sits in the slot of the plate, as in the installation instructions.
- Result that matters:
- the mower arriving straight and docking properly.
- If it was tilted or the guide wire was crooked:
- correct it and watch the next docking.
- If all is correct and the message returns:
- ask the dealer to review the station installation.
- Evidence to keep:
- photo of the station and guide wire at the entry.

What it means
In the Husqvarna Automower 405X/415X operator's manual (1650-006, 2023), 'Charging station blocked' appears when contact between the mower's charging plates and the station's contact plates may be poor and the mower has made a number of attempts to charge. Other causes listed are an object preventing it from entering, a tilted or bent station and an incorrectly installed guide wire. Other models may differ. The message alone does not prove that the station or battery is faulty.

Symptoms and causes
Probable causes · in order
- Poor contact between platesCommon
The mower's charging plates and the station's contact plates do not make good contact, because of dirt or corrosion, after several attempts.
Evidence: Husqvarna Automower 405X/415X Operator's manual (1650-006 EN)
- Object at the station entryCommon
Grass, twigs or other objects in the station stop the mower from entering; the manual says to clean the station regularly.
Evidence: Husqvarna Automower 405X/415X Operator's manual (1650-006 EN)
- Station tilted or bentPossible
If the baseplate is not on level ground the mower struggles to dock; Husqvarna says to put it on a level surface.
Evidence: Husqvarna Automower 405X/415X Operator's manual (1650-006 EN)
- Guide wire installed incorrectlyPossible
The guide wire must run straight and sit in the slot of the station plate; otherwise the mower arrives at an angle and docks badly.
