Brittany for Model Number mvwb700vq0 My washing machine comes on but stops at the spin cycle and says f 50. Is this caused by the drive motor? Does it need to be replaced?
Answer Hi Brittany. Motor Stalled. F then 50 flashes when the motor rotor position sensor (RPS) part # WPW10178988 senses no rotation. • Does basket turn freely? If not, make sure bottom shipping pack has been removed. Remove basket and look for foreign object. Determine cause of friction. • If basket turns freely, see TEST #3. It will be advantageous to find the supplied tech sheet inside the cabinet to aid you in the diagnosis. It allows you to put the unit in a diagnostic mode which brings up fault codes and tells you which circuit needs assistance. Use a volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1 to assist you in your diagnostics. This way you can use the ohm meter to check the wire harness in the rps circuit to see if it is open and that or a bad connection will send the same code as well . Thank You. Read More...
