Best Seller
Manufacturer Part
4.89 (64)
By: Frigidaire
Part Number: OEM17871849

This motor control board regulates the washer's drive motor, managing speed and direction for tumble and spin cycles. Replacing a failed board helps restore drum movement and consistent cycle performance when the motor no longer responds. What it does:

  • Controls drive motor speed and direction during wash and spin cycles
  • Executes motor start/stop commands from the main control
  • Failure can cause no spin, no tumble, or intermittent drum movement
  • Trigger motor-related fault codes on some models
What's included:
  • Includes: 1 motor control board
Install notes:
  • Disconnect power before servicing; observe ESD precautions when handling the board
  • Access the control board per your model's service manual (typically in the base or rear cabinet area)
  • Transfer wire connectors one at a time to the new board; ensure each is fully seated and latched
  • Mount securely, reassemble, and run a diagnostic or spin test to verify motor operation

Questions & Answers

For Frigidaire Motor Control Board (Washer) (Part Number: OEM17871849)

1 Answer

Mike, the error e57 is indicating a high current on the inverter. What you will want to do is find out if the unit was overloaded. If not, remove the belt from the motor 134638900 and spin the motor pulley. If the motor does not spin freely then replace the motor. If it does spin freely, then you will want to spin the tub pulley. If the tub pulley does not spin freely then you will want to check the tub bearings 134956200. If it does spin freely then you will want to test the motor windings. 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 3 and 6 Ohms. If the windings do not test good, then replace the motor. If they do test good, then you will want to check the wiring for any damage.

Jeff for Model Number 417.41122410

Kenmore front load washer made by Frigidaire is experiencing disruptions in the cycles. No error codes present. During the test cycle, everything works fine. No apparent problems with the any of the wiring. Drain pump works fine sometimes, sometimes it doesn't. Door lock works fine every time. Not sure which way to handle this. Whether to replace motor control or main control. 14.2 ohms across the drain pump leads. Any suggestions as to what to do next? Thank you.

1 Answer

Jeff, If the drain pump is working sometimes but not all the time then this will likely be an issue with the main control board which will be part number 137208014NH.

Hello Mike, This is most likely the motor control board 134618213. You can run the diagnostics on the unit if you think it may not be completely draining since water left in the unit will prevent the unit from going into high speed spin.

M. G., You will want to check to make sure that there is power getting to the control board. This would be checked on the J1 connector for 120 vac. If there is power to the control board but the power will not come on then you will need to replace the control. There is no fuse in the control panel that can be replaced and the most likely cause of the unit not starting would be the door lock assembly being faulty.
