Husqvarna Automower error 8

Wrong PIN code

Fault / warning

Also shown as E8 · fault code 8 · message 8

The mower has been given the wrong PIN too many times and has locked itself as an anti-theft measure.

Common causes

How to fix it

  1. Enter the correct PIN — after a wrong-code lockout you may need to wait for the timer to run down before trying again.
  2. If you've forgotten the PIN, recover it in the Automower Connect app, or reset it through a dealer with your proof of purchase (Husqvarna can clear it).
  3. If the keypad misreads correct presses, have it checked.
