ECM Synchronika: Adjusting Motor CapacitorUpdated 6 months ago

We recommend unplugging the machine and letting it cool down completely before making this adjustment.

Tools Needed:

• 2.5mm Allen Wrench / 3mm Allen Wrench
  (Pre-2020 machines use 2.5mm Allen screws, post-2020 machines use 3mm Allen screws.)
• Large Zip Tie (only if zip tie needs to be replaced)

1. Remove the top cup tray from the machine and you will see the 2.5mm Allen screw on the left side of the machine.

2. Remove the screw, tilt the panel outwards to the left and remove it.

3. The capacitor can be found zip-tied to the motor. Carefully adjust the copper tube and wiring as needed to create space.

4. Slide the capacitor upwards on the motor within the zip tie, away from the frame. In some cases, you may need to put a new zip tie around the motor and capacitor to adequately secure it.
