Cub Cadet XT1 LT42E wheels don't turn. I pressed the forward/reverse paddle. But the wheels don't turn. There is no error code on the display. The battery is fully charged. The mowing blades can be turned on and off.
Is there any idea of how to fix it?

You have to look at it and see what stoped driving. Assuming it's a belt drive transmission is the belt still there? Is the input pully on the transmission spinning if you try to go?

The service display (separate mode on the vcm) may show a different error code . The blades are turning you at least have the main contractor closing and power moving in your mower then it might be something thing like a safety switch for the drive . There may be a switch near the foot pedal and under the seat.

If it's a hydrostatic transmission there should be a lever in back that disengages it, if it's pulled out push it back in

I know nothing about electric mowers - do they still use hydrostatic transmissions? I guess I assumed they would use individual wheel motors, sort of like locomotives, but I don't know why I thought that.
