Any unsafe condition detected while measuring live voltage.: Immediately unplug the machine and escalate to advanced technician.
Because this involves checking output voltage near live low-voltage DC, this must be handled by a qualified technician.
If the issue persists after initial checks, further diagnosis of the motor circuit requires a qualified technician.

Checklist

Guided Diagnostic Steps

Work from low-risk checks toward technician-level inspection only when evidence supports it.
