Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

If you see this error, the machine will beep continuously. Check the rear of the device where the motor assembly is located to rule out metallic friction or grinding sounds.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Unplug the device from the power source for 5 minutes.
  2. Remove side panels to access the main motor.
  3. Manually turn the gears (with power off) to check for a physical jam.
  4. Inspect the connections on the main board for potential sensor signal faults.

Prevention and Maintenance

Technical lubrication of the motor shafts is essential every 100,000 cycles. Always use genuine TN-012 toner, as compatible versions create abrasive dust that accelerates motor wear.

When to Call a Technician

If the motor makes noise but does not spin, or if the code returns immediately after a reboot, contact technical support to inspect the motor power circuit.
