The F 51 code, would indicate, the control board is not seeing the proper resistance on the motor circuit .
You should check and make sure there are not any articles, stuck between the tubs, or under the agitator.
Make sure you're not overloading the machine.and you have proper voltage to the unit.
Have you run the unit through a cycle empty ?
You may want to try that, before we have to get too involved in circuit and voltage tests.
Your technical data sheet should be on the inside of the front panel, you'll need to raise the top of the washer, using a putty knife to release the clips in the front seam, holding the top down .

F51 error code
The reason could well be due to an intermittent connection at the Rotor Position Sensor, (RPS).
To correct this, remove and reinstall the connector at the RPS at least three times to clean off any corrosion built up on the connector and RPS due to the intermittent connection. Confirm that the connector is fully seated onto the RPS control upon final connection and verify there are no damaged wires.
