| Error Code | What It Means | Often a cheap fix? | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| SEW-Eurodrive Fault F01 (Overcurrent): Causes, Sub-Codes, and How to Isolate Drive vs Motor vs Cable | SEW-Eurodrive F01 is an overcurrent trip on MOVIDRIVE B and MOVITRAC B. Decode MOVIDRIVE B sub-error codes 0-14, apply the P138 ramp-limit fix, and use one lockout-and-meter session to prove whether the drive, the motor, or the cable is at fault. | — | Fix → |
| SEW-Eurodrive Fault F07: Fix DC Link Overvoltage + Codes | SEW-Eurodrive fault F07 is DC link overvoltage from regenerative braking. Learn the real causes, the step-by-step fix, and related MOVITRAC/MOVIDRIVE fault codes. | — | Fix → |

| SEW-Eurodrive Fault F14 (Encoder Error): Sub-Codes 0 and 25-34, Hiperface, Resolver, and X14/X15 Wiring Checks | Decode MOVIDRIVE B fault F14 by sub-code: 25 = X15 encoder past 6542 rpm, 28/29 = RS485 errors on X15/X14, 31-33 = Hiperface, 34 = resolver. Plus the cable, shield, and encoder-type checks that actually clear it. | — | Fix → |
| SEW-Eurodrive Fault F31 (TF/TH Sensor Tripped): Motor Thermistor Troubleshooting on MOVITRAC B and MOVIDRIVE B | SEW fault F31 means the motor's TF thermistor or TH thermostat tripped — or the sensor loop is open.
