Cabrio F51 Fault (Stored Fault Code F51)
The Cabrio's F51 fault code flashes on the washing machine's display when there is a motor rotor position sensor (RPS) failure.
Check for good contact at the control Board and at the RPS. Sometimes disconnecting and reconnecting the RPS plug connection several times will clean off corrosion that may be affecting the contacts.
Here is an earlier Fixya answer addressing the query:
Try to turn the drum by hand, if it hard to turn, there may be something stuck underneath spin basket. If it does turn freely but makes a loud growling sound, you probably have a bad bearing. You should notice black oil and water mixture at bottom of washer, on the rotor. It will usually throw a f51 error code. This unit has service bulletin on this problem.
NEED TO KNOW F WHAT F51 IS THE RPM SENSOR ON THE MOTOR ARE YOU MAY HAVE CLOTHING STUCK IN SIDE THE WASHER THE BASKET WILL SPIN REAL EASY BY HAND IF NOTHING IS STUCK IN THERE ARE IF YOU ARE GETTING F1 YOU NEED A NEW MAIN CONTROL BOARD
I have the f51 code filled up with water and stopped. They are coming today to fix it. Called whirlpool and they are fixing this at their expense. I have the extended warrenty they said they are fixing codes f1 and f51
The F50 error code indicates that the RPS (rotor position sensor) detects no motor rotation. Check to see if the basket spins freely. If not, you could have an item caught between the outer tub and the inner spin basket. A toy or other item underneath the washer could also prevent the basket from spinning and would result in this F50 code.
If the basket spins freely, you could have a wiring failure that would prevent the motor from spinning.
