What E d 29
actually means.
E d 29 means the drive board sees an open motor circuit. Speed Queen points first to the motor harness plug at either end, which can back out slightly, then to a damaged harness, the drive board or the motor.

What to do when E d 29 shows on the commercial applianceKind of codeMotors and drives
Something that should turn is not turning, or not at the speed the controller expects. A washer-extractor's drive or its inverter may stop the spin when the load is out of balance or a bearing drags, a tumbler's belt may slip so the drum barely moves, a convection or combi fan may slow on worn bearings and bake unevenly, and a dish machine's wash pump may hum without spraying. Redistributing a load, confirming the door is latched and running the machine's own test cycle are fair; a drum, a belt or a motor is a visit, and nobody reaches into a drum that could still move.
