Safety first: Unplug the unit. Capacitors on the control board can hold charge; avoid touching board components directly.

1. Check for drum obstruction: Rotate the drum by hand. It should turn smoothly. Grinding or binding may indicate a seized bearing or foreign object between tubs, which can overload the motor.
2. Inspect motor wiring: Remove the rear panel and locate the drive motor. Ensure the wiring harness connector is fully seated and free of corrosion or burn marks.
3. Test motor windings: Disconnect the motor and measure resistance between motor terminals according to the service manual. Open or shorted windings indicate a bad motor.
4. Inspect hall sensor: If your Magic Chef model uses a hall sensor on the motor or stator, verify the sensor is firmly mounted and the connector is secure. Replace if physically damaged.
5. Examine the main control board: Look for burned traces or components in the motor drive section. Board-level repair is advanced; replacement is usually required.
6. If unsure: Due to high-voltage and complex electronics, consider a professional technician for E7 motor drive faults.
