How to Fix Electrolux Washer Error E59

Error Code: E59 Difficulty: Hard

Problem: No tachometer signal for 3 seconds after the motor has started.

How to Fix E59 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Disconnect the washer from the power source to prevent any electrical accidents.
2. Access the drive motor, which is located at the base of the washer tub. This may require tipping the machine or removing a lower access panel.
3. Locate the tachometer sensor on the motor. It is a small component that reads the motor’s speed and direction.
4. Inspect the wiring that runs from the tachometer to the motor control board. Ensure the plug is securely connected and that there are no breaks or frayed sections in the wires.
5. If the wiring is intact, the tachometer sensor itself is likely faulty. On many Electrolux models, the tachometer is an integral part of the motor and cannot be replaced separately.
6. Replace the entire motor assembly. This involves removing the drive belt, unbolting the old motor, and installing the new one in its place.
7. Reconnect all wiring, reassemble the washer, and run a spin cycle to verify that the error is cleared and the motor is functioning correctly.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
