Affected Models
Likely Causes
  1. The motor control signal from the inverter board to the drive motor is disrupted

  3. Wiring harness between the motor and the inverter control board is damaged
  4. Motor rotor position sensor is malfunctioning or misaligned
How to Fix It
1
Disconnect power and remove the rear access panel to reach the drive motor and motor control board
2
Check the wiring harness connections between the motor and the motor control/inverter board for loose or corroded pins
3
Test the motor windings with a multimeter for resistance (typically 4-7 ohms between phases for a 3-phase motor)
4
Inspect the motor rotor position sensor (Hall sensor) for damage and test its output if possible
5
Replace the drive motor if windings are shorted; replace the motor control board if the motor tests normal
