Prop won't lock on ??

[StanMI]

Brand new right out of the box. ONE of the Black props will not turn at all to lock on. You get 4 so I tried another one and it locked on easy.

Anybody else ever have this happen ? Is there an easy fix ?

I haven't studied under a magnifying glass but it appears the same as the others. I did try it on the other post, no go.

See if there is clear plastic on the center of the prop.

Looks clean, I can't see anything that would stop I from locking. Parts number matches the other Black props.

I'm stumped !

OMG! That's crazy! One of my black marked props won't go on either! P4P brand new from Best Buy.

Looks like I'm not the only one !!

For sure you're not the only one. No clear plastic on mine either I make sure of that. I push down and turn and it only turns about half the distance it should to lock in place. It's no big deal since I have the spare but still sort of strange that you have the same exact issue.

Yours sounds like it's the same as mine.

If I turned real hard I might be able to get it to lock, but it's only plastic and the others lock on so easy I don't want to take a chance.

Same "issue" for me : have to apply some force to lock the black props

Sounds like DJI got a sketchy batch.

Just bought mine. Same issue, one prop mounting won’t accept a propeller. Did anyone resolve?

OK, I had that same thing, but had spares, so I just used a little force, not a LOT and it clicked past, after that it works fine. Maybe a small burr on the plastic?
