How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before accessing the rear panel.
- Check belt: Remove the rear panel and inspect the drive belt. If it has come off or is broken, replace it with the correct size Grundig belt and ensure proper tension.
- Inspect motor connector: Ensure the motor plug is fully seated and free of corrosion or burning.
- Test motor: With the belt removed, spin the motor shaft by hand; it should turn smoothly. Use a multimeter to check windings and tacho as per service data.
- PCB diagnosis: If belt and motor are good, the motor control on the PCB may be faulty and require professional repair.
