Frigidaire Washer Error Code E58

Error Code E58 on your Frigidaire washer indicates a high current on the motor phase.

This issue can be diagnosed and resolved through a series of systematic steps:

1. Unplug the Washer: Begin by disconnecting the washer from the power source to ensure safety during troubleshooting.
2. Remove the Drive Belt: Take off the drive belt connected to the motor. This allows you to isolate the motor and assess its functionality without external factors.
3. Check Motor Pulley: Rotate the motor pulley manually. If the pulley doesn’t spin freely, it suggests an issue with the drive motor. In such cases, consider replacing the drive motor.
4. Inspect Drive Pulley on the Washer Tub: Rotate the large drive pulley located on the back of the washer tub. If it doesn’t spin freely, it indicates a potential problem with the spin bearing. In such situations, the outer tub and spin basket may need replacement due to a failed spin bearing.
5. Examine Spin Bearing: If the spin bearing appears to be in good condition, proceed to check the resistance of the motor windings. The ideal reading should fall between 4 and 6 ohms. If the reading is outside this range, it indicates a faulty motor that needs replacement.
6. Evaluate Motor Windings: If the motor windings display the correct resistance, the next component to inspect is the speed control board. In many cases, a malfunctioning speed control board is the culprit behind Error Code E58.
7. Replace Faulty Components: Based on your findings, replace the faulty component. This could include the drive motor, outer tub, spin basket, or the speed control board, depending on the specific issue identified during the troubleshooting process.

By following these steps, you can effectively diagnose and address Frigidaire Washer Error Code E58, restoring your appliance to optimal functionality.
