Error Code: E52 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: No signal from the tachometer generator to the electronic controller.
How to Fix E52 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Power down the washer and unplug it from the wall outlet.
- Access the drive motor, which is usually at the base of the washer.
- Locate the tachometer generator on the motor. It is a small sensor that monitors the motor’s speed.
- Check the wiring and connections between the tachometer and the electronic controller for any breaks or loose fittings.
- If the wiring is secure, the tachometer itself is likely faulty and will need to be replaced.
- Remove the old tachometer and install the new one, ensuring it is properly seated.
- Reassemble the washer, plug it in, and start a cycle to verify the repair.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
