Affected Models
Likely Causes
  1. Tachometer (speed sensor) on the motor has failed or become disconnected

  3. Wiring from the tachometer sensor to the control board is broken
  4. Control board tachometer input circuit is damaged
How to Fix It
1
Disconnect power and access the drive motor at the rear of the machine
2
Locate the tachometer sensor mounted on or near the motor (typically a small coil or Hall effect sensor)
3
Check the tachometer wiring connector for a secure connection and inspect for damaged wires
4
Test the tachometer sensor with a multimeter (a coil-type tach should read 100-300 ohms)
5
Replace the tachometer sensor or the entire motor assembly if the sensor is integrated and not separately available
