Error E12-0138

[Denise]

Not seen this error before and I don't see it on this forum when using the search. Carved fine about an hour ago. Went to carve again and it said the "close door" message. Now it shows error E12-0138. Anyone have any ideas?

More information that is helpful.....This is not a purchased image that is being carved, it is my own and not locked/licensed. Looking for the list of Error Codes but can't seem to locate them...any help is appreciated

1. I did find the list of Error Codes. http://www.carvewright.com/2010CWweb...ting_Guide.pdf

2. My error code is not listed. Anyone have any suggestions? Error code is E12-0138. What area is E12 to determine the issue?

It would help if you could be more descriptive of what the machine was doing before and at the time of the error.. No clues really on the code number

I had completed a corian carve. About an hour later I was asked to make another of the same thing. Its a small carving, the machine was cleaned and vacuumed before and after each use. I also have an attached shop fox on all my machines during carving. When I tried to start this carve, my 5 year old was helping me put the card in. he didn't put it in all the way and turned on the machine. I didn't notice it immediately, but when I did I turned off the machine. Waited about 15 seconds and turned it back on. Received an error that to close the lid. hit cancel and it gave me error E12-0138.

The machine is an older A machine with modified upgrades. Has been a good performer and hope it is an easy fix. I do have a C machine also, so I am still able to play.

Hope this is enough info fwharris. Thanks in advance for helping

Have you cycled the power off and on to see if the error cleared? Also when you got the error did it say Y or Z stall?

When you were vacuuming out the machine was it turned off and were you grounding yourself (in contact with the machine) to the machine while doing so?

Carving Corian can get messy and the dust/chips can and will get into the drive belts and gears. It will also pack down on the Y and Z rails and bearings. With the machine off how is the truck travel in the Y direction? smooth, bumpy, drags???

I did try to cycle the power. Unplugged for 30 min to be sure...I still get the close cover error, but didn't see the E12 error again. Did not get Y or Z stall error.

Yes, I place one hand on the machine when I vacuum it out

Have had issues with the corian clogging in the past, however i have learned to maintain constant cleaning for best performance. They truck moves smoothly both up and down and sideways.

Like you, I did not find that error listed. However, several other errors codes in the teens point to Stop being pushed after an initial error message, which forces the new message.
