E52: Drum Motor Start Sensing Error
E52
Motor overheating, Laundry load too heavy, Low power supply, Motor or Wiring
defective.
Checks to perform:
WARNING
Check that all the connectors are correctly
inserted.
Is there any overload of laundry in Dryer?
Make the laundry as per the product specification
and repeat the diagnostic cycle to check for any
further alarms.
Remove the laundry and check whether the drum
turns freely without posing any resistance. Is there
any resistance to drum rotation? (See Fig .1)
Check whether the friction is caused by the Motor
(See Fig. 2) or by the tub bearings (See Fig. 3).
Replace the defective component. After clearing
any obstacles wait till the motor becomes cool
because thermal protector may take 30 mins to
reset (thermal protector may be tripped because
of motor overheating). Repeat the diagnostic
cycle to check for any further alarms.
Unplug the connector from the Motor and
measure the resistance between terminals 5 and
4. Is the resistance value between “2.9 Ω to 3.5 Ω”?
(See Fig. 4)
