Error 21 indicates there is an issue with the amount of voltage or current being supplied to the internal controller and motor.
This can often be resolved by resetting the display, carefully removing the battery, inspecting the terminals, and re-installing the battery gently.
If the issue persists, the cause may be:
- Internal controller (50%)
- Motor (30%)
- Battery (10%)
- The wire from the motor to the controller (10%) - if it shows signs of damage at connections
