Possible Causes

Faulty tachometer sensor on motor, Loose tachometer connector, Broken magnet on motor shaft, Damaged motor control circuit

Safety: Disconnect power.

Access motor: Remove the rear panel and locate the tachometer at the back of the motor (small sensor with two wires).
Check connector: Ensure the tachometer plug is firmly connected and wires are intact.
Inspect magnet: Look for a cracked or missing magnet ring on the motor shaft. If damaged, replace the motor assembly.
Replace tachometer: If available separately for your model, replace the tachometer sensor.

If E52 persists after motor/tach replacement, the control board may be defective.
