Toro electric leaf blower

Hi,
My blower just quit blowing, right in the middle of being used. It did not seem to have any stress. It is about 2 years old. Is a good tool and I would like to get it fixed. Any idea what might be the problem?
Thanks for your info.

    funny, the exact thing happened to me today in Atlanta. I have an electric Toro 215 mph, had it for about the same time too.

    Always worked great before. Blew real well for about 15 minutes today then stopped cold!

How To Fix An Electric Leaf Blower Vacuum

Toro Leaf Blower Disassembly Leaf Blower Repair Help

https://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/brands-products/Toro-Parts/Leaf-blower-Parts

This is do it yourself help. Just what safety measures you might be using in assembly, disassembly, and testing is something to review. Do not expose yourself to possible injury from some ejected part or electrical short during any testing. Don't risk an eye or finger fixing something which might be accidentally activated during the fix.

SOURCE: Toro leaf blower has spark but will not start

Check the fuel lines for cracks/breaks. If they are o.k., then:

You will need to disassemble the carburetor and spray with carb.cleaner. Make sure the small screen is free of debris. (Should be able to see daylight through it.) Use a Den Tek Brush, (http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=165357&catid=1152), to clean the small portals in carb. These portals can become blocked. Reassemble and start.

Just let me know if you need further assistance.

SOURCE: Toro leaf blower Model 51591 from 2003 has started

Sounds like a piece of wood is caught under/between the impellor and the case/housing. When removing the impellor, you may find it has a left hand threaded nut.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/rolandw_c013176d62ee17ae

SOURCE: Toro Blower..No power. Like a blown fuse. Does it have a fuse?

I have the Toro 51591 model. Yesterday, mine did the same as yours. I opened up the case and found that a small cylinder had broken off of the switch. So it could be that your switch is the problem. I have been unable so far to find a replacement anywhere.
You should consider using your warranty.

Testimonial: "Thanks. I checked the manual first though and read that the impeller cover if not properly closed will not allow it to turn on. That worked. Thanks"

These machines are considered "disposable" items and most service centers won't even repair them, saying that it is not "cost effective." I have never come across a parts list for one other than maybe the plastic housing on them (they may exist), but costwise you may be better off getting another tool unless the Toro is still under warranty.

Problem is my hardly used Toro Blower Vac is getting no Power

If it has not run for awhile, check the brushes. they might need to be replaced. The plug is usually moulded right on power cord. That might have to be replaced because if there is a problem with a broken or disconnected wire right at plug there is no way to see it. Hope this helps.

Plugged it in and it won't run but it was running fine when I put it away two weeks ago.

Check the plug for loose wire or at blower where wire it enters to make sure the wire was not pulled and disconnected inside. If after looking and it is not a wire, check the brushes on the motor. They could be worn out or not making a good contact. Blow out brush housing and re-install brush sometimes this works. That's about all I can think of unless there is a safety switch then check that. Good luck.

Toro replacements are hard to find because Toro does not sell them and it is tricky to make you own.

Vacuum or Blower?

* Blowers perform the single, simple function of blowing material. * Blower/vacuum combinations combine the blower function with a vacuum feature. Leaves or debris can be directed into an attached bag, which makes this type of unit great for vacuuming leaves from shrubs. An additional mulching feature is available on some leaf blower/vacuums. Mulched lawn debris can be used in compost piles or bagged for disposal. Most convert easily from blowing to vacuuming mode.
