E-BODA DV-555X not spinning a disc no matter what, I managed to trace the problem using a multimeter and 5 hours to be the motor not getting powered, when its supposed to spin, it kind of wiggles.

When powered by an external 5V wall adapter the motor does spin so it seems the motor just isn't powered appropriately, the connector doesn't seem to be the problem either as the reading head shares the connector to the main board

SOURCE: Maytag Neptune Top Load FAV6800AWW -- tub/motor will not spin

Hey Cameron,
I saw you post today on another forum and did not have time to put my thoughts down before work. I agree not a clutch issue I had to :), you would be so lucky. I own the machine and can’t offer any more troubleshooting then what you have done, good job of that. Unfortunately the FAV6800AW/FAV9800AW SM doesn’t have a whole lot of support for troubleshooting beyond what you have done for this issue. I found more info from the MAH3000 manual on the technical operation of the motor controller (slightly different controller). Both machines use the same troubleshooting paths. Remove JP4 which is;
P1 Motor Control common
P2 Torque (to Motor Controller) see page 1-11 MAH3000
P3 Motor Control Tach (to control board input)
My WAG is replace the Motor Controller 1st, then Control board 2nd and a possible tach issue related to the motor. That’s enough WAGing,…. but with troubleshooting not a complete WAG :).
Take a look at pages 2-5 thru 2-11, I keyed in on page 2-11 in the MAH3000, it may give you some additional insight, I know we are dealing with different machine designs but I think the designs are close regarding motor controller, the motor and what the Control Board is doing and looking for with input from the Motor Controller. I wish the FAV6800AW/FAV9800AW SM gave this kind of detail for troubleshooting. There is a nice little troubleshooting table on 2-11.
I keyed in on this note;

The motor control monitors the signals and communicates this information to the machine control (control board). The purpose of this signal is to tell the motor when to energize each winding in the motor and to tell the machine control the actual motor speed.

Then this note;
Note: If the machine control board does not receive an input signal from the motor control/tachometer circuit (JP4 connector), the motor speed will rapidly accelerate for 5 seconds then shut down. The machine control will sense a "locked rotor" condition and the motor will stop. If the motor control does not receive an input signal from the motor, the motor will "****" for 5 seconds then shut down.

I don’t believe you have that condition. I have worked with a forum member who had an issue with the motor controller related to an Lr error, locked rotor error and replacing the Motor Controller fixed the issue. Form here I vote for an issue with the Motor Controller. Not having known good parts makes this a difficult job.
The control board is under warranty for 5 yrs from DOP, the Control Board is 2 yrs. Ebay is a good source 25001079

I would push Maytag CSV for both. I got them to send me a Control Board after discussing my troubleshooting and that I had a neighbor (me) that was a repair tech who would install. I also had to send them copy of my warranty not sure why they beeded that my machine was on file with them.
In your console you will find a Troubleshooting guide if you haven’t pulled it out already. It has the schematic for the machine which I find handy. If you want a soft PDF copy of the schematic I can e-mail you. Just ping me at [email protected]. I use that for one-way contact, just respond back on this post if you ping me, I don’t check the account for month’s at a time.
With my limited knowledge I will try to help you. Good luck. Rich

SOURCE: Unusual Power Requirement

Should not be a problem, the theory here is Volts * Amps =Watts

5V * 2A = 10w

The alternative is to get a LM7505 ($1 or 2) from radioshack or any electronic supply and regulate the 12v down to 5v. its about 1/2 square IC chip.

Pardon my ASCII:
[_]
input 1.7V - 35V ________| | |_____ +5v (+/- 1%)
Pin 1 Pin 3

will accomodate 1 Amp (1.25 if heat sinked) for the CMOS version, slightly higher for the olde r(less effecient) version

The other pin is ground. OF course you will want to check the specs and pin assignment for the brand you buy, these are typical.

    SOURCE: Samsung frontload dryer will not spin...drive belt is okay...power is okay...motor does not seem to turn on???

    Most likely it is the thermostat. It may also be the motor, but usually you will hear humming of some sort. There is a small thermostat on the blower housing that usually goes bad and presents the situation listed.

    How do I repair so I don't get "no disc" message?

    Could be dirty or faulty laser, faulty decoder board or motor not spinning the disc.
    tip

    DVD PLAYER REPAIR (NO DISC ERROR)

    Before you attempt to repair your DVD Player yourself, make sure that you have necessary tools and test instruments like philips screw drivers, multimeter, soldering iron, soldering lead, soldering pump, etc...

    jdvillanueva_27.jpg

    This is a DVD/MIDI Player with a "no disc error" upon loading any disc that played before...
    Watch this VIDEO
    First I've loaded it with disc and observe the movement of the optical lens and the spindle motor. First thing I've noticed that the spindle motor didn't oscillate upon spinning and it's spin slowly unlike the normal RPM...
    I've suspected the spindle motor was already bad but still to be confirm...

    jdvillanueva_28.jpg

    jdvillanueva_29.jpg

    Unscrew the disc holder plate from the assembly to keep away the magnet touching the spindle motor, this may affect the reading and spinning of the motor upon testing with the multimeter.

    jdvillanueva_30.jpg

    This is how it looks like after removing the disc plate holder in the assembly. Spindle motor is secured with 2 small screws in the lens assembly.
    Pull-out the connectors from the main board to see the underside of the tray.

    jdvillanueva_31.jpg

    You may test the spindle motor with your multimeter set in resistance measurement (ohms X1) even connected to the small board.
    Bad motor will read either less than 5ohms(shorted winding) or infinity (open winding) and will not spin.
    Good motor will read more than 50 ohms(depends the size) and will spin upon testing. Watch this VIDEO.

    jdvillanueva_32.jpg

    jdvillanueva_33.jpg

    Onced you've confirmed that the motor was already faulty, unscrew it from the lens assembly.

    jdvillanueva_34.jpg

    Replaced the spindle motor with new one. Before you install the new motor make sure that the clearance of the disc holder is the same as the old one. Compare first the clearance because if it is to high the optical lens will not read the disc same if it is to low....

    After replacing the motor re-insert all the connectors to the main board.
    I've load same disc which does not read a while ago and observe what will happen. Observe the disc and the sound oscillation from the spindle motor in this VIDEO.

    Hope that the above information, pictures, and video will help you fixing your DVD player yourself.
    Thanks for visiting Fixya.
    Have a nice day!

    The timer know on my whirlpool washer does not move. I have to go and turn the knob for the machine to get out of the wash cycle, the spin cycle and the rinse cycle.

    If the knob does not move to the end of the wash, spin and rinse cycles (i.e. remains in one position) then the little drive motor that operates the timer/function rotary selector, has either lost power or is faulty.
    If you have a multimeter (and know how to use it) then it's easy to determine if power is reaching the motor. If power is present, but no movement from the little motor, then you're probably looking at replacing the selector mechnism. If no power on the mechanism, then you will have to do some visual wire tracing (with power removed from the machine) to determine where the discontinuity is.
    Bear in mind that once the washing machine is opened for measurement, you will be exposed to live mains power.
    You are liable for your own safety. Take great care.

    The disc tries to load and I get bad disc not matter what disc I put into the machinre

    Hi Sharon,
    Try these basic steps below to solve your problem. You should prepare tools and test instrument like multimeter.I would advice you to find friends that can perform these steps if you can't do it yourself.
    Assuming that the disc is good.
    1.Clean the lens. - Sometimes because of dust the lens can't read any disc. Try clean the lens by soft cotton buds. Be careful while doing this.
    2.Replace the ribbon - Check the ribbon connected to the lens from the main board for scratch, damage. Once it has an open line then of course the lens can't read the disc. Also try to erase the contact by pencil eraser. If you've done the steps above and the symptoms still there then the next step requires you a little knowledge in soldering technique and reading the ohmmeter.
    3.Check the motor - Check the motor that spin the disc with an ohmmeter. You can test it using the ohmmeter (x1) even it is connected on the lens assembly.Good motor - reading should be fairly high and it will spin. Bad motor- reading will drop to low resistance and will not spin.
    Hint : 50% of my repaired unit the above parts are commonly caused of the problem.
    If you confirmed that you have a defective motor then replace it with a new one. Before replacing the new motor you have to check the clearance of the disc holder with the old one. The clearance should be the same as the old because if not the lens will not read the disc if it is too far or too close.
    Ifyou already cleaned the lens, and confirmed that the ribbon is good as well as the motor then I've advice you to send it to repair shop because the next step should be done with an expert because it is quite technical diagnosing the fault between the pick-up lens and the main board.
    Hope it may help you.
    Have a nice day!

    Trouble playing dvds

    I found that yes, the Pioneer DV-341 motor would not begin turning the DVD's at times without assistance (such as your finger as I found out when I disassembled the DVD player) to get it started.

    Before buying any parts, I removed the DVD players housing (eight screws) and the top of the DVD housing that secures the DVD. This had the unpowered, spinning disc holder. Mine was secured by some plastic tabs and one screw.

    I found the powered, bottom part of the disc holder had a rubber torroid (like a flat rubber band) glued to it that relies on friction to spin the disc. It was filthy, and needed manual cleaning. Having a Masters in Electrical Engineering, I used the appropriate tools to clean it, my finger and some spit.

    I put everything back together and it works great. I'll keep an eye on the problem in the event that the motor is actually going bad, but I find that usually, things just need a cleaning to work as they are supposed to.

    Dv-605 kenwood

    I have a similar issue with my DV-605 as well. When the unit power on, I can hear the motor trying to start, but the DVD does not spin. Being the adventurous type, I opened the case and turned the DVD drive motor a few revolutions by hand and then the dvd played. I think I need a new DVD drive motor. You may as well....
