How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power and do not bypass any safety devices.
- Inspect PCB: Remove the control board and look for cracked solder joints or heat damage around the motor relay. Reflowing solder or replacing the board is typically required.
- Check motor load: Ensure the drum turns freely by hand and that bearings are not seized, as high load can stress the relay.
Because E54 involves high-current components, repair is best left to a professional who can replace the control board safely.
