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.
