MOTOR TEMPERAT.
Kone · Elevator Control
What does 1065 mean?
The motor controller (codes 1065, 2065, 3065) has detected an over-temperature condition in the connected motor. This protects the motor from thermal damage. The specific lift reaction is controller dependent.
Common Causes
- Motor operating under continuous overload or heavy duty cycle.
- Cooling fan failure or blocked motor cooling fins.
- Faulty motor temperature sensor providing incorrect readings.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Inspect motor cooling fan for obstructions and proper operation; check motor cooling fins for cleanliness and debris.
- 2
Verify motor temperature sensor (thermistor/PTC) wiring for continuity, proper connection at motor and drive terminals, and inspect for any damage.
- 3
Measure the resistance of the motor temperature sensor at the motor's terminal box and compare against manufacturer's specifications for the current ambient temperature.
- 4
Check drive parameters related to motor nominal data (current, voltage, power, RPM) and temperature monitoring configuration (sensor type, trip thresholds) to ensure they match the motor nameplate and application requirements.
- 5
Inspect the elevator mechanical system for any binding, excessive friction, or overload conditions that could cause the motor to draw excessive current and overheat.
