The code
323 ("Überlastung des rechten Schneidmotors" / right cutting-disk motor is overloaded) is an officially documented fault. Related codes from the same motor — 325 (fails to start), 326 (overheating), and 328 (sensor failure) — came up alongside 323 for more than one owner in the same thread, suggesting a single underlying motor problem can trip several of these codes together1.
Cause 1: temporary overload from debris or wet, tall grass — cleaning fixes it
"Überlastung des rechten Schneidmotors" recurred repeatedly, traced to mole hills and tall, wet grass rather than a hardware fault; the fault stopped recurring after cleaning the cutting deck1. If your mower has just cut through unusually long, wet, or debris-heavy grass, clear the cutting deck and blades before assuming anything is broken.
Cause 2: a genuine motor fault — needs a warranty repair
The identical 323 code turned up with no jam or debris found in two other cases, with the right cutting-disc turning noticeably harder by hand than the left one even after removing the disc and its guard for inspection1. Both owners sent the unit in under warranty:
- One owner's unit was repaired and returned within about two weeks (sent April 11, delivered back April 24), at no cost, with all saved maps intact; no re-mapping was needed after reconnecting it in the app1.
- A second owner's repair was still in progress with no status update after nearly two weeks in transit/repair, as of the last post in the capture1.
A similar noise and an intermittent fault code (first the right motor, then the left) persisted after cleaning and a blade replacement for a fourth owner, with no resolution recorded at the time of the capture1.
