My 12 amp homelite corded electric mower blows the breaker on whichever plug I use. I have changed cords - same problem. How do I fix the mower problem?

Hi,
A blower of that amperage of course must be plugged into a minimum of a 20 amp breaker though 30 amp would be better, and have a 12 Gauge cord probably 100 ft. or less.
That is quite a bit of amperage when a discussion of voltage drop comes into play.
Peace,
Clarke

At start up, the mower probably pulls more then the breaker rating. While a breaker should hold off a temporary overload, as a start up, it could be weak or a motor drawing much more than 15 Amps. Since it blows from every outlet, I'd suspect the motor. I'm sure Clarke meant mower, not blower, although the concept is the same..
