How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before accessing the motor area.
- 1. Access motor: Remove the rear panel to expose the drum drive motor.
- 2. Inspect tachometer connector: Locate the small sensor on the rear of the motor (tachometer). Ensure its connector is firmly attached and free from corrosion.
- 3. Check wiring harness: Follow the wires from the tachometer to the control board, looking for cuts, pinches, or broken insulation.
- 4. Re-seat connectors: Disconnect and reconnect the tachometer plug to ensure a good contact.
- 5. When to call a technician: If E52 persists, the tachometer or motor assembly may need replacement, which is best handled by a professional.
