Possible Causes

Defective tachogenerator on motor shaft, Loose tachogenerator connector, Broken wiring between motor and control board, Faulty motor control circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before accessing the motor or control board.

  • Access motor: Remove the rear panel and locate the motor. Identify the small tachogenerator module at the rear of the motor.
  • Check connection: Ensure the tachogenerator plug is firmly seated and wires are not damaged.
  • Test tachogenerator: With a multimeter set to AC volts, spin the motor shaft by hand and look for a small voltage output from the tachogenerator. No output indicates a faulty tachogenerator.
  • Replace components: Replace the motor or tachogenerator assembly if defective. If the tachogenerator is good, the control board's speed sensing circuit may be faulty and requires professional service.
