The F50 error code indicates that the RPS (rotor position sensor) detects no motor rotation. Check to see if the basket spins freely. If not, you could have an item caught between the outer tub and the inner spin basket. A toy or other item underneath the washer could also prevent the basket from spinning and would result in this F50 code.

If the basket spins freely, you could have a wiring failure that would prevent the motor from spinning.

Washer won't start spin cycle, error f50

The F50 error on the Whirlpool Cabrio / Kenmore Oasis points to the basket and possibly some obstruction keeping it from turning freely.

Please see the following PDF Service Manual for the Whirlpool.

Error code f50 unit stops and will not do anything

Unfortunately it is not so easy. F50 is the code displayed when the fault persists in the RPS ( Rotatory Position Sensor ). You have to replace it. The problem may be a burnt CU ( Control Board ). It can also be an indication of motor being stalled. Thank you Sir, Have a nice day.

Washer whirlpool cabrio message code f50,washer

F50 - This is a motor stalled failure. If this persists you will eventually need to call in a service engineer to repair it as the machine will eventually stop working altogether.

F50 error code and Whirlpool Cabrio

this code would indicate rps sensor at motor. whirlpools are very bad with electronics and control boards. New rps sensor requires new harness as well.
