Flashing imbalance and unit stop working.
Hello guys,
Can anyone help me with our Beckman Microfuge R22?
When we start the unit, it flashes imbalance on the front screen. I have checked the rotor and it seems everything is okay. I have checked the front board and main board and it seems everything is okay, I also checked the refrigeration and it runs when I set the temp. The imbalance error appears after a few seconds when I turn ON the unit.
I suspect it is the speed sensor that is the problem and I just want other opinions about this or maybe someone else experienced it before.
Please kindly help.
Cheers all guys!!!

Possible motor mount broken. There should be some resistance if you move the rotor spindle back and forth(i.e. east and west, north and south, etc.). Are you sure there is nothing in the bottom of the rotor tube chambers? Can you post a picture of the bottom of the rotor? If you are located close to Minnesota, I could drop in for a free consultation.
