Hi I got a code




By aesterripa on Nov 25, 2008

" "
Hi I got a code message on my washer machine Kenmore Elite Type: 580, model no: 110.27082603.
The code is F51, and on the manual it says to "press STOP and press START again. If Code appears call for service"
Now I want to know if I could fix it instead of calling somebody.

F51 error code is beacause the computer board did not receive input from the motor on the bottom. Unplug the washer, pull the machine forward and tilt the machine back. On the bottom you will see a large white wheel with a silver allen screw in the middle I think it is a 6mm allen wrech that takes it off. Once you remove the screw and drop the white wheel, there will be a large coil of wires with 4 5/16 screws holding it on, remove these scres and drop the coils. On the right hand side you will see a connector with three wires , unplug it. Use sand paper or a scraping tool to clean all 3 male sides of the connectors. Reverse process to re-assemble.
