E59 Error on Frigidaire front loader - won't spin

Have a Frigidaire front loader that has had approximately 5 repairs in last 4 years. No, it won't spin;sounds like it is draining. And I hear clicking like it is trying to do something, but no spin. Noticed, because it stops on normal wash cycle when about 18 minutes left. Also won't spin on drain and spin cycle. Please help. Also have an error code of e59 - no tacho signal for 3 seconds. What does this mean?

I finally solved this same problem on mine error code E59 and the main symptom of the drum never spinning even right at the beginning of the load cycle. I did Test 12 based on the following link: (MAKE SURE THE POWER CORD IS UNPLUGGED TO THE MACHINE)http://manuals.frigidaire.com/prodinfo_pdf/Webster/134542000.pdf. I found that the motor was fine which meant the problem was with the speed control board. On my speed control board there are 3 locations that connectors plug into it. Make sure these are all firmly connected. One of the three is a very weak press fit connection clamping over the edge of the circuit board. This had wiggled loose on my machine from all the dancing across the concrete floor in the basement this machine does. I pressed this connection in firmly, put everything back together and it started working like new!

Good luck.

    Thanks jbljbljbl73 -- your solution worked for me and you just saved me $$. As soon as I inspected the plugs going into the speed control board, I saw that one was not connected. My only further suggestion to others is to look at the contact points in the circuit board (see manual referenced above; p. 88, step 8). I had a little trouble finding the contact points (I didn't take the speed control board out; I did it by "feel") until I looked at the picture of the circuit board in the manual. Once I saw the picture, it took me about 30 seconds to reconnect the plug.

Replace the main control board.but check they drain pump and makke sure there is nothing stuck in the drain pump.

  • Anonymous Sep 27, 2009

    there may be something stuck inside the drain pump.remove the drain hoses fro the pump and look inside for anything that may be stopping it.you may also have a bad drain pump. last thing would be you need to replace the main control board

Why does my new Frigidaire washer do 6 wash-cycles (washes for approximately 4 minutes out of a 50 minute planned wash) then spins and drains?

Who installed the machine? If it is a front loader did you remove the shipping bolts? If it is installed correctly I'd say it has a bad control board.
Unplug the machine, let it set for one hour and then try it again.

What e59 means

Hello Ninemi,
I see that you are receiving an E59 on your Frigidaire Affinity washer. E59 states that "No Tacho" Signal for 3 seconds. I would recommend giving the appliance a hard reset. You will do this by either unplugging it or switching the circuit breaker off that the washer is attached to. When you do this you will want to leave it off for 3-5 minutes. Once the 3-5 minutes has elapsed, bring power back to the washer and try to restart it. If you are still receiving an E59 error code, I would suggest contacting your local authorized technician to diagnose and see why you keep receiving this error code.

-Best Regards-

Kenmore Super Capacity 3.5 error code E59

see the error code E59= E59 equals no tachometer signal for 3 seconds.
This means that the motor is not signaling to the washer normally and may be caused by a variety of failures within the motor, basket or the control board. Generally speaking, the E59 error requires the service of a Frigidaire professional for resolution due to the technical nature of the ERROR.
God bless you

Frigidaire front load washer wont spin 43 error code in diagnostics said replace board did that same thing will spin at increment 8 in diagnostics however

I am not a repair professional. I am just a 78 year old
man who has been making his own repairs for about
50 years. Therefore the washer ID doesn't mean
much to me. It's been about 55 years since I had
experience with front load washers. However I can
suggest you go to www.applianceaid.com where
they have very good trouble shooting and repair
information on front loaders. I think you'll find what
you need there. You can search for the meaning of
the error code on the site.Don't worry about the
timer, they hardly ever go bad.Good luck with it.

I am getting a E59 and the drum won't spin

E59 is a fault code , check your user manual for code explanation , but no spin is often related to no /or insufficient drain stage , generally caused by drain filter blockage or pump failure . Check , clean and replace filter + try again .

Frigidaire front loader washing machine won't spin...

It appears your timer/main controller/CCU has failed in this instance.

For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.
I recommend both sites because ...


FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.

PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.
RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.


If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.
In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.


Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.

If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.

Frigidaire front loader washing machine won't spin...

The problem is a faulty Door Latch Assembly. The same thing happened to my Frigidaire front load washer. The part is easy to install, costs about 60 dollars and can be picked up at most appliance repair stores . To access the switch just remove the wire around the front drum gasket, peel back the rubber gasket beside the switch assembly then remove the two screws holding it in place. remove the three wire connector blocks and swap in the new switch. My washer was giving me error code 41 witch is a faulty control board. But the problem was in fact only the switch...

E59 code means you need a new circuit board and Frigidaire knows it's a problem, but will only step up to repair if you demand it. we're on our second circuit board in 2 years!
