How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing panels.
- Check belt: Remove the rear panel and verify the drive belt is intact and properly tensioned. Replace if broken or badly worn.
- Inspect motor connector: Ensure the motor plug is fully seated and wires are not loose.
- Test motor windings: Measure resistance across the motor terminals. An open circuit indicates a failed motor that must be replaced.
- Replace motor control: If the motor and belt are good but the motor does not receive power, the motor control or main control board may be defective and require replacement.
