Panasonic KX-E603 Troubleshooting

No matter what you do, your typewriter refuses to turn on.

Be sure to check that you have flipped the power switch to "on" before attempting anything further.

If the power switch does not turn the typewriter on, check that the device is plugged into a working outlet, and check to make sure the power cord is not broken.

If the typewriter still wont turn on, it is possible that a fuse may have blown. Refer to the fuse replacement guide for directions.

Though the carriage moves from left to right, it moves slowly or jerks every few seconds.

If the carriage moves slowly, then the rails it rests on are most likely dirty. For help cleaning and lubricating, refer to the rail cleaning guide. If this does not fix the issue, the stepper motor may be malfunctioning. Please refer to the stepper motor replacement guide for help.

Even though the typewriter punches the keys, no visible letters appear on paper

If you see and hear the typewriter typing, but no letters appear on the page, the ink cartridge may be out of ink or dry. To replace the cartridge, refer to the ink cartridge replacement guide.

You do not like the current font style that the typewriter is printing

If you do not like the current font, you can replace the printwheel with one of another font by referring to the printwheel replacement guide. You must purchase an additional printwheel to change the font.

The carriage does not move at all when the typewriter prints

If the print carriage does not move at all when typing, then the stepper motor that moves it is either not receiving power or broken. Please refer to the stepper motor replacement guide to resolve the issue.
