Quick answers
What is wrong?
Landroid reports Wire missing / Outside working area — it cannot find a valid boundary signal.
What you might notice
- Wire missing! Press START
- Outside working area
- Red LED on charging base
Can I fix this myself?
Usually yes for cleaning/checking. Difficulty: medium · about 20-60 min. If unsafe or unresolved, use mail-in repair / authorised service.
What you need
- Spare boundary wire for test loop
- Wire strippers
Do this
- If the mower is outside the territory: power off, move it inside, power on, press START.
- Confirm charging-base LED is solid green. If off: check outlet, charger, and cable. If red: reseat boundary wire in clamps; reverse AL/AR ends if clamped incorrectly.
- If LED flashes green: confirm clamps and inspect for a cut wire.
- Optional test: make a ~3 m (10 ft) temporary loop into the base clamps; if the error clears inside the test loop, repair the installed boundary wire.
- If unresolved, contact Worx support / request repair.
Parts (only if cleaning fails)
- Boundary wire
- Waterproof connectors
