SOURCE: Washer's tub will not move

I don't know what the E5E error code refers to but I can think of at least one possible reason for no motor action, even if motor itself is ok and board has been replaced. The relay itself could be faulty with no power from the output side, even if it clicks on. Less likely but still possible would be a faulty overload protector at the motor.

SOURCE: frigidaire front load washer won't spin, belt looks good, makes noise

Don't have much experience on Frigidaire. Is the motor a brush type, capacitor type or one of those new DC types? If it's got brushes and they are ok, then I would say your armature is up the creek. If it's a capacitor type (unlikely) then the capacitor is most likely duff. If it's the new DC type it could be a lot of things, most likely the module which breaksdown and passes an AC component in the motor supply which make the motor tremble but not rotate

SOURCE: top loading whirlpool model lsq9549pw2 will not spin

This is commonly caused by a broken motor coupling. If the washer fills and drains, but will not agitate or spin, the motor coupling is likely the cause. The coupling takes the place of a drive belt and couples the drive motor to the gearcase (transmission). This configuration is known as "direct-drive". The coupling can wear out due to normal wear and tear and easy to replace. The following link explains how:

http://www.fixya.com/support/r385252-replacing_motor_coupling_whirlpool_top

This is a very inexpensive repair and its not difficult if you follow the steps provided. The newer replacement couplers are more resilient and resist breaking much better. The part number is included in the link I provided. You can purchase a replacement at appliancepartspros.com for about $11. If you do not wish to order on line, take the part number and go to your nearest appliance parts retailer. This is a very common part that they should carry in their in-store inventory.

If you have any questions about this repair, or if you need additional assistance, plese let me know. I hope you fin dthis information helpful.

SOURCE: Frigidaire Front Load Washer won't Spin

i fixed mine about 5 times and its always some thing diffrent.
try buyng the inexpencive parts first and leave for last the electronic control panel.
it could be that your washing a smaller amount than the recomended.
Take it to a profesional. dont do like me a DIY guy. Some times i need to take pictures when taking the monster appart and then because they are somany screws missing duct tape, rope or hangerwire becomes usefull.
All mechanics are wise guys you and me are thevictims.

First, see the Sears parts site for your washer.

http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/getModel!retrieve.pd?modelNumber=110.22642100

It's likely that the brake (which stops the tub) is engaged when the clutch / transmission is removed.

A tab on the brake is engaged by the clutch spring.

If you are going to pull the transmission in order to get to the clutch (Sears has a clutch rebuild kit instead of having to buy the complete clutch assembly), I'd pull the brake and drive tube assembly also to check the brake and springs.

Following is an illustrated set of instructions on how to pull the pump, motor, transmission and brake assembly.

http://www.american-appliance.com/catalog/newsdesk_info.php?newsPath=16&newsdesk_id=137&osCsid=2b032a4fc7eb55782e68a26559e72e0a

In order to get the agitators out, you need to remove the "Spanner Nut" and "Drive Block".

Many instructions call for a special spanner wrench to remove the nut. However,

You don't need a special spanner wrench. (About $20 retail)

I've used a short 10" pipe wrench (About $9 also good for cracking walnuts) hooked around one of the tabs on the spanner nut and tapped the handle with a hammer to loosen it.

Also, don't directly hit the drive block with a hammer (it's soft metal). Put a short piece of wood under the drive block and tap it up with a hammer.

I keep getting an error code "PE". According to the manual, when checking the voltage of the clutch motor, I should have 120V AC when valves operate but I am only getting a max of 70V AC. Is the clutch...

You have to disconnect the connector from the motor. Especially check the outlet to the unit to verify 120 volts. If you're getting 120 volts at the connector UNPLUGGED then you got a bad clutch motor, if you're getting 70 volts, the main board isn't providing adequate voltage, however if it has been getting 70 volts there is a chance that the low voltage and high amperage may have damaged the part as well. Maybe this helped a little better, unless it's a 3 phase motor, in which case there are 3 wires going to it. (No ground) many of these operate off those voltages depending on the function of the motor, but of you say you know you're supposed to get 120 for sure, that is the problem will follow up with more info.

I get an error code PE on Samsung washer WA5451washer

PE error code is a pressure sensor code, and more than likely the sensor will need to be replaced. Try unplugging the unit for about 5 minutes and see if it will clear it out. If not, will need to replace pressure switch and hose (switch looks like a little UFO under the console, pretty easy job.
