What's Happening

The motor triac (electronic switch) on the control board has failed. The motor doesn't receive proper driving signals. This is an internal board component failure.

How to Fix It

Reset power for 5 minutes. If E:43 returns, the control board's motor driver circuit has failed. The entire board needs replacement as the triac can't be individually repaired.
