Error Code: E58 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: High current on motor phase.
How to Fix E58 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Unplug the washer from the electrical outlet to ensure your safety.
- Remove the washer’s top and/or rear panels to get access to the motor and the motor control board, which is usually located near the bottom of the machine.
- Carefully inspect the wiring harness that connects the motor to the motor control board. Look for any signs of burnt wires, loose plugs, or physical damage.
- If the wiring appears to be in good condition, the motor itself should be tested for a short circuit, which can cause it to draw excessive current. This step typically requires a multimeter and professional knowledge.
- If the motor tests okay, the fault lies with the motor control board, which is unable to properly regulate the current to the motor.
- Replace the motor control board with the new part, ensuring all connections are secure.
- Reassemble the washer panels, plug the unit back in, and run a test cycle to confirm the repair.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
