850 CD player balking... help?

Hello,
My 1995 850 has a 6 CD player that was added in the trunk by the dealer. It
will independently eject the cassette. I have to open the player and push
the cassette back in and then it will work for how ever long it chooses
before ejecting the cassette again.
Anyone have this experience or have a remedy for the problem? Thanks, Signe

 

My 6 CD player in a S70 started to behave like this a few days ago. No idea
yet about how to fix it.

The display shows E-02 after the cassette is ejected.

Mine also shows the E-02 code. It malfunctions in two different ways.

Initially a CD would be stuck in the player. No way to predict why, how or
when it would release it.

That stopped and then the cassette would eject and lodge against the player
"door". I could slid open the door and push the cassette back in and it
would work... until it decided to do it again.

This week it has gone back to the stuck CD format!

 

FWIW, the most common CD player problems in general are use of CDs with
paper labels (too thick) and deterioration of the rubber drive belt(s)
inside. The belts lose their tension - they stretch - and then the mechanism
doesn't have enough oomph to operate. That becomes worse in cold weather.
The belts are available at well-stocked electronics supply stores, but DIY
repairs are pretty intricate. Yahoo search for "car radio repair" revealed a
lot of places that advertise repair - caveat emptor.

I'm only using CDs with no paper labels so I don't follow that trail...
About the bad belt theory...:
My CD player ejects with a "bang" when the cassette hits the player "door".
Usually happens when I start the car, i.e. starting the player. Ejecting the
cassette could then be the normal behavior of the player when it finds that
it is not operating correct during startup. The failure mode may then be
caused by a bad belt. My first thought was some electrical problem.
Any more thoughts and ideas are welcome before I open the player and check
it out
I'm really annoyed by this problem.
