Unfortunately this is a repair issue. There are several failures that can occur, none of which will be resolved without service, that create this safeguard situation. Often the fpc cable which carries sensor information to the micro has been injured and that requires repair. Good luck, magic seadog

The most common problem is that the belt for the center pulley comes off. The best fix is to replace the center pully because it is out of tolerance allowing the belt to jump off. Do you have an E03 error code on the screen? This is not a simple repair. The sequence involves a total disassembly, removal of the main board, removal of the mechanism, removal of the mechanism board and cassette-up basket, replacing the center pulley, reinstalling the belt and entire reassembly in reverse order. If you haven't done it before, even as a pro, you're in for a treat...Good luck, magic seadog
