Common Causes and Inspection Suggestions
E2 – Handrail Fault
Check:
- · Handrail drive system
- · Handrail speed monitoring device
- · Sensor alignment
- · Handrail belt condition
A worn or loose handrail drive system may cause speed differences between the handrail and steps.

Long-term operation may cause chain elongation and abnormal movement, affecting ride comfort and safety.
E6 – Motor Phase Loss
Possible causes include:
- · Loose wiring connection
- · Power supply issue
- · Motor terminal failure
- · Contactor or electrical component problem
The power supply should be checked before replacing components.
E7 – Motor Overheating
Possible reasons:
- · Motor overload
- · Poor ventilation
- · Excessive mechanical resistance
- · Long continuous operation
Technicians should check motor temperature and mechanical load conditions.
ThyssenKrupp escalator fault codes provide important diagnostic information for maintenance personnel. Accurate fault identification combined with proper inspection procedures can reduce downtime and ensure safe escalator operation.
