An E90 error indicates some sort of communication error between the two boards that control the washer. Usually it's a problem with the wiring. (At least for Electrolux and related washers, E90 is a communication error.)

You can try unplugging the washer overnight and then trying again. This resets the board. Otherwise, you need to open the washer and use an electrical contact cleaner. Check all the wiring for any corrosion or solder issues. This will be time consuming.

Alternatively, you could replace both control boards (usually comes a large fraction of the cost of a new washer when you add the repair man's time). You usually can't tell which of the two boards are bad so replacing just one frequently doesn't solve the problem.

I hope this helps.

(if you add a comment with the make and model of your washer, I'll check the parts cost/availability if they are at my usual sources.)

If alarm code E90 is displayed on the control panel, it means no water is flowing through the system. Check the attached troubleshooting guide.

When the machine is turned on all lights flash and machine beeps with code E90

Hello

e90 means there is no communication between user interface and main control pcb
the most likeley cause is the blue wiring harness that connects the two...........the cable may appear to be fine but the connection needs to be crystal clear the smallest amount of oxidisation or dulling of connector will cause this problem

F2 and beeping

The F2 error is the user control board gone south on you, a new board will fix the machine, as always do you own your home and does the insurance cover appliances?

Frigidaire Tumble Action Washer - lights flash, beeps, does nothing else...

If you have had a lightning storm or power surge it may have fried the electronics panel. That is what happened to mine. Once it is fixed you should put a surge suppressor on it that is rated for major appliances.
