Possible Causes

Faulty motor tachometer sensor, Loose motor connector, Damaged motor control PCB, Debris inside motor fan causing imbalance

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery and wait for the motor to cool before opening the unit.

  • 1. Basic reset: Remove the battery for several minutes, then reinstall and test. Sometimes a transient error clears.
  • 2. Listen for mechanical issues: If the motor noise is rough or rattling, debris may be inside the fan. Disassemble the motor housing only if the design allows safe access; otherwise, replace the motor assembly.
  • 3. Check motor connector: Open the main body and locate the motor connector. Ensure it is fully seated and there are no broken wires.
  • 4. Replace motor assembly: If E13 persists and the wiring is intact, the tachometer sensor integrated into the motor is likely faulty. Replace the complete motor assembly with a genuine Candy part.
  • 5. PCB replacement: If a new motor does not resolve the issue, the motor control PCB is defective and should be replaced by a technician.
