Samsung laser printer CLX3170 main motor locked

When I turn on my laser printer CLX3170FN, it shows the message main motor locked and I need to wait some hours to be able to operate with it, otherwise if I'm in a hurry, I can use a hairdryer and I heat that pulley for one minute or less as in the video below. I already tried to change the fuser but this issue persists. youtu.be/jOVo7qIq1lg

You are the only person with this error. Because the hair dryer heat makes it work, I would suggest removing the motor and cleaning and lubricating it. My though it that it is gummed up with old grease.

Testimonial: "I uploaded a more exhaustive video because the previous one was incomplete https://youtu.be/jOVo7qIq1lg Thanks @Andrew your diagnosis can be correct. I hadn't thought of such a thing but I don't know if I will be able to take the motor apart"

    It is worth giving a soak in solvent a try before buying a new motor.

Hello! I just bbuyed new printer Samsung clp 315,I installed it and when i try to print,then it is showing the message-main motor locked! what i need to do to fix this problem?... I hope you can help...

I had something similar but that's because i opened it and modified it with a chip and i forgot to plug back in the power strip for the motor. I remembered after the message, opened it up again and plugs back in the plug and it start working. What i think is that maybe it had a loose connection so if it's under warranty take it back if not go ahead and open it and check the connections for a loos one.

L6:The Main PWB sensed a Polygon motor lock signal error.

That is related to the mirror motor within the laser.
The laser most likely needs to be replaced.
