Moderate

Address soon - your appliance may not work properly

Also displayed as: LE1

How to Fix

  1. 1

    Check for physical/structural restriction: inspect motor supporter and air guide blower for obstructions or interference

  2. 2

    Check motor wiring connector at main PCB (white 10-pin housing, orange/white/yellow wires) — verify connector is fully seated

  3. 3

    Measure BLDC motor winding resistance (refer to component testing page 34): U/V, V/W, W/U each should be 20 Ω ±2 at 25°C

  4. 4

    If motor windings are out of spec, replace BLDC motor (R code: C200)

  5. 5

    If wiring and motor are good, replace main PCB (R code: A160)
