The Logic Verdict

Check the wiring harness. The vibration of the washer often shakes the motor wire connector loose. You might not need a new motor.

What It Means

F06 = Motor Tachometer Error. The control board tells the motor to spin, but the speed sensor (tachometer) isn’t sending a signal back.

Step-by-Step Fix

  1. Unplug: Safety first.
  2. Remove Back Panel: Take off the rear access panel.
  3. Check Connections: Locate the motor at the bottom. Push on the wire harness connector. Is it loose?
  4. Check for Corrosion: If the contacts are green/rusty, clean them with electrical contact cleaner.
