Maybe he doesn't understand what you mean when you say it.

To me it's He gets that it doesn't work.

That is, He understands that i

I have written it to him, it's grammar question.
I mean "He break it" or "He made it not work" etc

"He gets it doesn't work" means "he understands that it doesn't work".
Near to what you are thinking of is "he gets it not to work".

In that case you cannot say "He gets it doesn't work".

Say "He broke it".

Okay, why "get" means "understand" for "He gets it doesn't work", and why is not for "he gets it not to work". Emotion: big smile

I think "get" has more different meanings than any other word in English.

My dictionary shows 53 different meanings

Here's my suggestion then -
He gets <sentence stating a fact>

So you could take away "He gets" and it would still be a sentence.
Maybe others can improve on this
