This is because wet grass can stick to the blade and the deck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The build-up inside the engine casing blocks airflow, which increases the engine temperature and leads to serious damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fixed<\/strong>: The solution to this issue is quite simple: just stop mowing the lawn when the grass is wet. And if your mower does become too hot, leave it a while before restarting it, then use it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Also Read:<\/strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/yardcurator.com\/cut-grass-without-a-lawn-mower\/\">How to Cut Grass Without a Lawn Mower? 6 Affordable Ways&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dull_Mower_Blades\"><\/span>Dull Mower Blades.&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking proper care of your lawnmower&#8217;s blades is important for a healthy, fresh-looking lawn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dull mower blades can significantly decrease the mower&#8217;s performance and, in severe cases, cause it to become overheated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When blades are too dull, the motor needs to work harder to cut the grass, generating more heat than normal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when the mower generates heat, we all know what happens; it will eventually stop working after some time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fixed<\/strong>: It&#8217;s important to <a href=\"https:\/\/yardcurator.com\/balance-lawn-mower-blades\/\">sharpen and balance the mower blades<\/a> twice per season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do this, remove the blades from the mower and use a sharpening tool to sharpen the edges.

The same rule applies to a lawn mower.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a lawn mower is running extra hot, the first thing to look for is the air filter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A clogged air filter will restrict the flow of air into the engine, which can cause the machine to overheat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fixed<\/strong>: Surprisingly, cleaning the air filter isn&#8217;t as difficult as it might seem to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just remove the air filter from the mower and clean it with soap and water, or you can go with the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00C871FQQ?tag=yardcurator-20\" rel=\"noopener\"> carb spray<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Pro Tip<\/strong> &#8211; Write down checking the air filter condition in the monthly lawn mower maintenance routine.
