I bought the MTE912 full unit last march and the GH912 trimmer has just burned out on me. I see you sell the base... now what about the trimmer?

According to the MTD100 mower deck information its compatible with NST 2118, LST 220, LST 300, LST 400 LST 420 Trimmers. Looks like NST 2118 is your best bet if you want to use your old batteries too. All LST Model use 20 volt lithium batteries which are supposed to have longer life. NST 2118 is 18 volt ni-cad.

Buy another model. Mine is brand new out of the box , it's loud, not powerful and the base broke for no reason.

Bought the GH3000 from a big box store. Worked fine the first season. The second season it would not feed line. So I opened up the line feed unit and found the line on the reel was fused together. The line was not useable. Picked up the replacement line and reel. Popped it in. I trimmed for about 5 minutes and the reel was empty. I realized that this design is very poor and cheap materials.I decided to make my own fix.- remove the reel cap- remove the line reel and discard- take a hose clamp place it over the center post- take a piece of line and thread it though the clamp and both ends out the line hole- tighten the clamp- snap the cap back onYou back in business!

I googled that before I bought a new worx WG155 --- it was cheaper to buy a new WG155 trimmer, then to buy a replacement battery. Sometimes replacement batteries are sitting around too long in stock ( I read all reviews, and that was a complaint someone posted )

I bought the trimmer here on the basis of all the positive reviews. My original unit died within 1 month of ownership. Dealt with Panasonic for a warranty replacement (shipping item to them cost more than 50% of what I paid for the item). The replacement died within 3 weeks ownership. Complete crap.

I have the same problem with my Braun 8995.. The base is useless, and has been since the 3rd week I've owned it.. Now the razor will no longer turn on and says to replace the foil.. I doubt that replacing the foil will fix anything with it not turning on, so I'll probably replace the razor with a different brand altogether.

The exact same thing happened to me during winter. I thought that I would have to call customer service or buy a new trimmer. Now, during summer, everything is back to normal. I don't have an explanation except to think that maybe the temperature affected the battery or machine's circuits.

Hey Vienna. I responded to your post in another thread, but I'll summarize it here. I don't own this version, but I own the CMM1000. The predecessor of this one. I've had it for over five years, and replaced the 'non user serviceable' battery at four years for a cost of 70 dollars. This version, the CM1936, has a battery specifically designed to be removed. Which would have made the process easier. I also live somewhere very /very/ hot during the summer (Kyle Texas,) which tends to trash batteries. I do recommend that you follow the manual's suggestions. These may have changed with the updated design: The mower should be on mains power whenever it isn't being used, even during the off season. If the mower shuts off during overheating, let it cool down. Don't repeatedly try to coax it to start up again immediately. Don't operate the mower if the battery indicator is in the red. Deeply discharging batteries, (Even deep discharge batteries,) reduces their lifespan. I bet that they also suggest to avoid living in, say, Texas, but I'm a bit fond of the place. :)

The majority of the posts are positive. However, a few fuss about "breakage" and/or the heating element dying out after a couple of uses.What model is yours? I am begining to comprehend the proper uses and the best recipes, but "model numbers" are not given with the posts.MML

That's a good one!By mistake my wife threw out mine!I tried to find a charger,but was unsuccessful! I ended up buying a second total trimmer,to get the charger,and i'm not sure that's available anywhere now. Sorry.Good luck.P.S. I ordered a charger from a parts co. but had to return it-didn't fit.

If it started to run again after 10 minute or so then yes the vents on the top of the motor above the string could be clogged and causing the motor to overheat. If the trimmer just stopped working it could be a number of things. Switch/trigger, battery, wire shorted against the housing in the tube, etc.

This seems to be a common issue with this trimmer. I had the same problem. I contacted Amazon and they gave me a full refund for my purchase.

I was in Europe, using a converter I bought from Brookstone, and fried my last Wahl trimmer. It was an expensive mistake. I recommend using a local Barber.

Just "chatted" with Longevity and they don't know if the units on Amazon are the updated models or not. Also, they don't sell the wire feed carriers to update it yourself! So to me that says they don't have parts available to service the machine if it breaks and are not too concerned about you getting their best product!! They may be a decent company, but their products are still made in China from Chinese manufactured parts, so warrenty issues will be a problem. Probably best to stick to American made units even if some of the innards are out sourced IMHO!

Hi - Like you, I really like this unit. My I suggest contacting the mfg. If anyone can help it should be them. Best of luck!

I had one that had a burned part too. Since I don't know what caused the part to burn out, I did not trust replacing the part.....just replaced the whole unit...not expensive to do that, and I trusted that more.

I would suggest you gooole for their website and ck. on a parts diagram for it and see if the spring would be available for it. if you want my email it is s10871@verizon.net. Ps if the spring is too expensive maybe just buy another trimmer.
