Hello - Typically, error code E56 commonly refers to a motor issue. It indicates that either the motor has overheated and/or will not drain/spin. Try reprogramming the washer by unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately 30 minutes for the washer to cool down and turn the unit back on. If error code persists, I personally suggest contacting a professional to accurately diagnose the issue at hand.
SOURCE: I have a Frigidaire Gallery front load washer with E10 error code
When ours does that it is because of the hard water build up. We have to un-hook the hot water clean out the minerals and it stops doing it.

SOURCE: Frigidaire front load washer won't drain or spin
This often is a drain hose that is too low or a drain hose that has been pushed too far down inside the stand pipe....the water is actually siphoning out of the washer. Do not "seal" the drain hose to the house plumbing pipe, this will also allow the water to be siphoned out.
SOURCE: ATF6000ES front load washer won't spin during regular cycle.
clogged filter will cause this error code. I have the same washer and the filter located inside the rubber boot attached to the pump was full of junk. there was enough room for water to get thru but not enough for full volume. clean it out and it should work. note : its a pain to get the boot back on so be ready and take it slow. this worked for me.
Hello friend, thank you for your inquiry!
Based off the information from your manufacturer "E56" stands for high motor current. Looking up information for your technical data sheet it states that you need to perform test 9:
1. Remove the belt from the motor and spin the motor pulley.
Does the motor spin free? No, replace the motor. Yes, go to step (3).
2. Spin the tub pulley. Does the tub spin free? No, check the tub bearings. Yes, go to step (3).
3. Disconnect the plug from the motor and measure the resistance of the windings (pin 1 to 2, pin 1 to 3, pin 2 to 3). All readings should be between 4 and 6 ohms. If readings are correct, replace the Speed Control Board. If readings are incorrect, replace the motor.
Based off that information you would need to replace your motor. If you feel unsure about repairs I would recommend reaching out to a professional for proper diagnosis and repair. I hope this helps. -Matt
Good afternoon friend, thank you for allowing me to assist you!
Typically on a Frigidaire washer an "E56" error code stands for a high motor current. Which means you could be seeing an issue with your motor or speed control board. If you are getting that error code you could be seeing a miscommunication within the appliance, I would suggest a reset to your washer would clear any false error codes. You can reset the appliance by unplugging the power cord or flipping the household circuit breaker for ten minutes. I hope this is helpful. -Matt
Hello - Typically error code E56 indicates that the motor is overheated and unit will not shut off. Allow 30 minutes for the washer motor to cool down and try again. If it proves to be ineffective contact a professional to move forward accurately.

From what I've researched, I think I need a new motor. I am trying to fix it myself - would just hate to buy a new motor if it could be something else.
