How to Fix E52 Error (Step-by-Step)

  1. Power down the washer and unplug it from the wall outlet.
  2. Access the drive motor, which is usually at the base of the washer.
  3. Locate the tachometer generator on the motor. It is a small sensor that monitors the motor’s speed.
  4. Check the wiring and connections between the tachometer and the electronic controller for any breaks or loose fittings.
  5. If the wiring is secure, the tachometer itself is likely faulty and will need to be replaced.
  6. Remove the old tachometer and install the new one, ensuring it is properly seated.
  7. Reassemble the washer, plug it in, and start a cycle to verify the repair.
  8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
