Problem for Panasonic DMR-E55 DVD Recorder

The open/close tray will not




By vfadale on Oct 27, 2009

The open/close tray will not open. It reads open then close but does not open. It makes a groaning sound as if it's trying to open but can't. There was no warning of this. The display shows imput L2 and bye when turned off. I have tried to plug and unplug it several times. I have tried the select buttom repeatedly. I have tried both remote and manual buttons. I can open the door to the tray but still no tray comes out. vince fadale

Assuming there is nothing stuck in the tray, the gears over time will wear out and the tray will no longer come out. Another possible cause is a weak motor, either way the tray will have to be replaced in order for it to work properly again.

Either 2or more cd's are stuck instead of 1 Plus the motor which with interlinked gear's made of plastic/Teflon/HDPE keeps rolling but resulting is slipping of the gear teeth are making the sort of mechanical groans. Open the top byopen all the screws 6-8 of them and remove all the CD's piled up and offer a small prayer and close it and then give it another chance..........................sodeep
