Here is what fixed mine. Remove the top cover by removing the three screws on the back of the machine at the top. Slide the cover to the
rear and lift off. The mother board has 2 relays on it. They have white
plastic covers. One is labeled K4 and K2. There
are five legs on each relay soldering them to the circuit board. Remove
the circuit board from the machine. It is the one you can see with the
top off in the back of the machine. Unplug all the connectors. Unsolder
the 2 omron relays. With a small screwdriver carefully
remove the plastic cover on the K4 relay. look at the contact points on
the normally open contacts and I will most likely they will look dull and
burnt. They should be bright and shiny. You can clean contact
points with contact cleaner and a eraser. If you
take off the cover of the 2nd relay you will see the contact points are
nice and bright and shiny. Swap the 2 relays and resolder them on the
circuit board. While you have the board out, and
rub it on the contact points where all the connectors slide onto the
board. . reinstall the circuit board and replace the top cover. dozens of loads since I did this with no more
problems. I expect another failure at some point when the points
deteriorate on the swapped relay. At that point I will try and find
replacements for both relays. The K2 relay apparently have less voltage
going threw the contacts and does not fail.
