Error Code: E50 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Motor / Inverter Error – Issue with the drive motor or its control system.
How to Fix E50 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Unplug the washer from the power outlet for safety and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Access the motor and inverter board, usually located at the bottom or rear of the machine.
- Carefully inspect the wiring between the motor and the inverter board for any signs of damage, burns, or loose connections.
- If the wiring appears intact, the issue likely lies with the motor control board or the main control board.
- Replace the motor control board first, as it is the more common point of failure.
- If the error persists after replacing the motor control board, the main control board will also need to be replaced.
- After replacing the necessary components, reassemble the washer and plug it back in to test its functionality.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
