Answer Joe, The E56 error code would be caused by a high motor current. Here are the things to check 1. Remove the belt from the motor and spin the motor pulley. Does the motor spin free? No. Replace the motor. Yes. Go to step (3) 2. Spin the tub pulley. Does the tub spin free? No. Check the tub bearings. Yes. Go to step (3) 3. Disconnect the plug from the motor and measure the resistance of the windings (pin 1 to pin 2, pin 1 to pin 3, pin 2 to pin 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. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, April 4, 2018
