Husqvarna Automower error 144

Boundary wire problem

Also shown as E144 · fault code 144 · message 144

The mower can't read a valid boundary or guide loop signal, so it stops rather than risk leaving the lawn. On wire-guided models this almost always points to the charging station or the boundary wire.

Common causes

• The charging station has lost power, or its signal light isn't showing the normal steady colour.
• A break in the boundary or guide wire — very common after aeration, digging, frost heave, or a strimmer nick.
• Corroded or loose wire connectors at the station or a splice joint.
• A boundary loop that's too long, or interference from a nearby loop or buried cable.

How to fix it

1. Check the charging station is powered and its status light shows the normal 'good loop' colour for your model (see the manual).
2. Walk the boundary looking for cuts, kinks or exposed wire — a break is often where the grass looks disturbed.
3. Open and re-seat the boundary/guide connectors at the station; replace any that are corroded.
4. If the light shows a fault even with the wire disconnected, the problem is in the station; if it only faults with the wire connected, the break is in the loop.
