Motor controller error

hello there and thank you for choosing fixya
CE Communications Error If there is any breakdown in communication between the machine controller and the motor controller, CE flashes and the unit beeps once.

Some common causes of CE errors include:

· Conformal coating on serial communications pins between the machine controller and motor controller. After disconnecting power to the unit, try scraping this coating off the pins.

· Check the resistance values between the serial communications pins with the connectors in place. Make sure the harness does not have a bad connection.

· Check the quick disconnect at the motor terminal. The drive motor must be hooked up properly or a CE error will occur.

· Drive motor thermal protector has opened.

·Motor controller is not powered or fuse has opened. Replace motor controller.

If you need to raise the washer top rom the washes base to get your clothes out see page 33 to release the washer top. Did you have any error codes to the LED display FAV6800A machine correct?

You could have a Control Board failure or a Motor Control Board failure. If you want to dig deeper into the issue let me know. If there is no error code to the display the next step (DIY) would be to read the Control Board Diag codes stored error list and see what we have.

You would need to get into Service Mode and display the Diag code list. See page 17 of the Service Manual......Rich

Hi, Well if there is any breakdown in communication between the machine controller and the motor controller, "CE" flashes and the unit beeps once.
Some common causes of "CE" errors include:
1.Conformal coating on serial communications pins between the machine controller and motor controller. After disconnecting power to the unit, try scraping this coating off the pins.
2.Check the resistance values between the serial communications pins with the connectors in place. Make sure the harness does not have a bad connection.
3.Check the quick disconnect at the motor terminal. The drive motor must be hooked up properly or a "CE" error will occur.
4· Drive motor thermal protector has opened.
5·Motor controller is not powered or fuse has opened. Replace motor controller.
Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display. I hope it helps. Thanks! mannu_rakesh

when you start the cycle and does it beep once and then show "CE" .. There is a communication error between the machine control and motor control.

There may be some Conformal coating on serial communications pins between the machine controller and motor controller.

After disconnecting power to the unit, try scraping this coating off the pins.

Check the resistance values between the serial communications pins with the connectors in place. Make sure the harness does not have a bad connection. Check the quick disconnect at the motor terminal. The drive motor must be hooked up properly or a CE error will occur. maybe the Drive motor thermal protector has opened.
Motor controller is not powered or fuse has opened.

There is not a CE Error - I suspect it is CF.
