There have been a lot of reports where technicians have been ordering RPS's prior to the common fix for the problem which is the control board. This is a common problem and the control board fixes F50 faults in most cases.
The F50 error code is a stalled motor error. There is a part called a "Rotor Position Sensor" that sees the motor running. This error will display if it does not see motor movement during a cycle.
If you get an F50, you need to replace the control board mounted to the top panel of your washer in the far back right corner under the control panel.
You want to make sure that the spin basket turn freely. turn the basket by hand and it should turn freely. If it does not turn freely then it could cause the F50 error.
If the basket turns freely then the problem is most likely the main control or the Rotor Position Sensor has failed.
This is a repair I recommend a technician do but there is one thing you can check.
Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate
your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about
this answer.
