Codes

Motor RPS Failure (rotor position sensor)
F then 51 flashes when there is a motor rotor position sensor failure.
The overheating of the motor sensor is caused by use of excessive detergent. This washer can detect suds and try to correct. Upon doing so it causes the motor to work more and overheat which causes the RPS to fail.
See page 7

The F and 51 code relates to the motor rotor.

"F then 51 flashes when there is a motor rotor position sensor (RPS) failure. See TEST #3."

The "test #3 is a bit complicated but can be completed if you are reasonably comfortable with test equipment.
