Joel A My 2008 frigidaire debt load washer did not spin or drain, replaced pump, door lock assembly, then the main control board with a code of E41 to no avail. After replacing the main control board I got an error code of E59. The motor spins freely with/without the belt on. Is it safe to say the problem would be the motor control board or speed control board, and to replace this part? Thank you, Joel Anderson
Answer Hello Joel. Disconnect harness from motor and check resistance on terminals 4 and 5 on motor, should be between 105 and 130 ohms. If good go to next step. Disconnect the plug from the motor and measure the resistance of the windings (pin 1 to 2, pin 1 to 3, pin 2 to 3). All readings should be between 4 and 6 Ohms. If the readings are correct, replace the speed control board. If the readings are incorrect, replace the motor. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
