Ricoh SC540-03 troubleshooting steps and fix

This error happened intermittently on a fairly new install. In the old series, the web motor would go out and cause this code but Ricoh has since updated the motor and it's been a while since I've had any issues with the web assembly in one of these machines.
This fix would apply (if it has the same problem) to the MP 6001, 6002, 7001, 7502, 8001, 6503, 7503, and 9003 models.
Hopefully, this will save you from having to order a web assembly or any other parts.
Thanks a lot for looking.

That was awesome to watch start to finish. Goes beyond fixing a mixed tape, which is what came to my mind while watching. So many parts! I loved your written instructions through the video. “That sound is normal.” 😊 it’s really neat to see your thoroughness and a satisfying fix at the end.
