Run a cycle with some bleach.

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.

check belt

Depends where the loose change is? Some times it caught between the middle paddle and the basket.Tthat I just use a small flat tip screw driver and finger, trap it and lift carefully out. If the coins are underneath the basket then its more involved. First, tape the door down and lift top cap and prop up aside. Then remove tubs cap off of tub. Next inside basket in the center, remove center cap off of paddle. Then remove bolt from center. Remove paddle." This I use a screw driver small enough to fit in paddle holes, one on each side to lift equally,back and forth." You will find six phillips head screws under paddle you need to remove. This should be able to lift the basket out. Walla!! T here's the bottom of the tub and anything lying there should be removed. If you want to really inspect it there are two 5/16th head screws that hold a protective plastic plate that should be removed and checked sense your there any ways. good luck to you and hope this helps.

hum check the belt if applicable, the door switch just in case co incidence plays out here, also may have a bad clutch or motor coupler, or worse case problem ur tranny. are u saying it still washes though? overload should not throw out ur spin cycle but can damage ur clutch and tranny? lest u have a digital electronic board on this machine and they are know to go bonkers. some machines actually have a auto fixit for overload or unbalanced issues.

possibly door switch, check first! if not main board replacement, is it under warranty?

This could be the door switch that is loose or broken.

Do you mean F11 code? The Problem may be a communication error between the Central Control Unit (CCU) and the Motor Control Unit (MCU). You need to check the connections between them and verify that nothing is loose. I don't have a service manual for this type of front loader but if you have access to one it will give you a protocol to follow to verify which part is the most likely to be causing the failure.

It's more than likely the lower drum bearings. The sad news is they used to be covered by a ten year warranty that Sears took away because they were going broke changing the drum out. So if your washer is less than 10 years old the warranty will not save you and it will cost you between 2 and 3 hundred dollars. High efficiency washers, no matter the brand are pure junk. I've paid for mine twice in repairs. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr Good luck and maybe it's just something stuck under the disk at the bottom.

error 3 is a motor error

Check the following items: 1. The inlet screen at the hose water inlets to be sure they aren't clogged. With well water, debris can sometimes be an issue. 2. The water valve(s) are open 3. The water line(s) are not kinked 4. The water line(s) are not frozen 5. To be sure there is an available water supply, disconnect the water lines (hot and cold) and try running them into a drain while they are not connected to the washer.

One of two reasons: The drum belt has broken and needs replacement, or TWO, check for an object that may have accidently jammed the drum from turning; such as a sock falling into the tract where the drum rotates, or a bad seal. Check the drum for movement by hand, and see if you can free it up manually. Last: check alignment. Look for damaged fittings.

Have you changed detergent or loaded more/less clothes than before? I use liquid detergent to promote even distribution. Using HE detergent really makes a difference too. Cheap detergents don't clean near as well. Water temperature is another factor. Good Luck

LONG FILL. Try cleaning out the screens at the hose connections.

first thing you want to do is remove the lower front panel make sure noting obstructs the drain pump

The Sd (5d) error code is displayed on this washer when the machine control board detects a suds-lock condition by analyzing the drag on the washer basket. It will be displayed while the control runs a mini-clean out cycle. If this clean out cycle is unable to remove the excessive suds and correct the condition, then the cycle will end and Sd will flash in the display. Make sure that you are using HE (High Efficiency) detergent in the appropriate quantity in your washer. If you detect excessive suds in the washer, this likely caused your problem. Another cause could be a toy or other item under the washer that would cause friction on the drive mechanism. If you do not see excessive suds, check for this type of problem under the washer.

If you have just cold or just hot, the solenoid valve may be bad on the one.

Main bearing failure probably. Have a look underneath for an oil or rusty water stain around the cabinet... If it has, it may be an expensive repair and probably not worth fixing.
