CODE E56 COMES UP BUT MOTOR IS GOOD WHAT ESLE CAN BE WRONG WITH IT

Unfortunately, and error code of E56 indicates a high motor current. There are a couple of issues that could cause this problem and if you're comfortable working on it yourself, I can try to direct you to self-help website that will explain how to diagnose the issue. Be advised it will require some machine disassembly to test whether it's actually a motor problem or if there is an issue with the tub assembly being difficult to turn.

Motor over heating, take the belt off and see if tub spins free. If it does, bad motor. If not check tub bearings.

Hello friend, thank you for your inquiry!

Based off the information from your manufacturer "E56" stands for high motor current. Looking up information for your technical data sheet it states that you need to perform test 9:

1. Remove the belt from the motor and spin the motor pulley.
Does the motor spin free? No, replace the motor. Yes, go to step (3).
2. Spin the tub pulley. Does the tub spin free? No, check the tub bearings. Yes, go to step (3).
3. Disconnect the plug from the motor and measure the resistance of the windings (pin 1 to 2, pin 1 to 3, pin 2 to 3). All readings should be between 4 and 6 ohms. If readings are correct, replace the Speed Control Board. If readings are incorrect, replace the motor.

Based off that information you would need to replace your motor. If you feel unsure about repairs I would recommend reaching out to a professional for proper diagnosis and repair. I hope this helps. -Matt

Good afternoon friend, thank you for allowing me to assist you!

Typically on a Frigidaire washer an "E56" error code stands for a high motor current. Which means you could be seeing an issue with your motor or speed control board. If you are getting that error code you could be seeing a miscommunication within the appliance, I would suggest a reset to your washer would clear any false error codes. You can reset the appliance by unplugging the power cord or flipping the household circuit breaker for ten minutes. I hope this is helpful. -Matt

check the hot and cold connections screen filters at the back of the washer they could be pluged. with rust or water sediments if not there is a possibility that the board is defective.good luck rudy.

Hi Susan, this is JK. I understand that you are receiving an error E56 on your washer. This error E56 is indicating a high motor current, the motor has overheated. The washer motor will stop when it is overheated, allow the motor to cool down and attempt to wash again. If the problem persists, you would need to contact a service provider to test the motor, motor pulley, tub pulley and the bearings. Hope this helps!

Hello - Typically, error code E56 commonly refers to a motor issue. It indicates that either the motor has overheated and/or will not drain/spin. Try reprogramming the washer by unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately 30 minutes for the washer to cool down and turn the unit back on. If error code persists, I personally suggest contacting a professional to accurately diagnose the issue at hand.

Hello - Typically error code E56 indicates that the motor is overheated and unit will not shut off. Allow 30 minutes for the washer motor to cool down and try again. If it proves to be ineffective contact a professional to move forward accurately.

1) Read the owner manual and proceed section troubleshooting,this mean the motor, probably is defective and need replace.
2) Try to run the software diagnostic.and make the test 9 for solution or diagnostic.
3) or call some tech from company or another you know it
God bless you

e56 is a motor or motor control circuit board fault
