How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and do not repeatedly reset if E57 recurs; this can cause further damage.

  • Inspect wiring: Check the harness between the motor and control for insulation damage or contact with sharp metal edges.
  • Test motor: Verify motor winding resistance and check for continuity to ground. A motor shorted to chassis must be replaced.
  • Inspect motor control board: Look for burned components or cracked solder joints. Replace the board if damage is visible.
  • Replace damaged components: Replace the motor if shorted, then replace the motor control or main control board as needed.
