How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing control boards.
- Inspect harness connections: Locate the motor control board (if separate) near the base of the unit. Check all connectors between it and the main control for secure fit and damage.
- Check for moisture: Look for signs of water intrusion or corrosion on the control boards. Address any leaks before replacing electronics.
- Visual inspection: Examine both boards for burned components or cracked solder joints.
- Replace suspect board: If wiring is intact and no other faults are found, replace the motor control board first. If E53 persists, the main control board may also need replacement.
