                  What happened?

                  The printer shows the message "Extruder motor is not spinning on tool #". In place of #, the number of the Dwarf board is shown. 

                  This problem occurs due to increased resistance between the Dwarf and the cable connector, caused by the cable and connector being held too firmly in position. 

                  Error name: Extruder error

                  Error code: #17536

                  How to fix it? 

                  Update firmware

                  Make sure that you have firmware 6.2.0 or newer.

                  Remove the 'dwarf-cover-connector'

                  Remove the dwarf-cover connector, as it might hold the cable and connector too firmly. Fully loosen the bolt holding the part and remove the bolt. Repeat the print without the cover. If the issue is solved, replace the cover: How to replace the main cable connector cover (XL). 

                  Old main cable coverNew main cable cover

                  If the issue is not solved, contact our customer support.

                  started getting this on tool head 1.

                  Looks like there's new cable stl files but needs additional hardware.

                  Someone should've designed this as a snap together rather than make us chase down hardware

                  Prusa should replase the connector type should with some other. You can surely find a connector that is reliable - in cars the connectors work flawlessy for 20...30 years, in extreme conditions. This is a design failure.

                  Hi, thanks for the feedback. We found most of the cases related with the old version of the cable cover, rather than the connector, however, it is possible that this old cover can cause damage to the Nextruder-main-cable. In case of issues in this sense, do not hesitate to contact our 24/7 Technical Support, we can find a suitable solution there. https://help.prusa3d.com/article/customer-support_2287

                  Like mentioned in several other comments, for me also was a connector issue. It seems, the heat and maybe some vapor from melting filament causes degrading of the connector pin surfaces.
                  After cleaning the connector pins on the extruder it worked again.
