Frigidaire Washer Error Code E52 — Motor Signal Error
What this means
The E52 error means the washer's drive motor is not communicating properly with the control board. The motor may not start, may stop mid-cycle, or may run erratically.
Alternate codes: E54
Step-by-step fix
2 stepsPower cycle the washer
Unplug for 5 minutes. A motor controller glitch can cause this error temporarily.
If the error only appeared once, a power cycle usually resolves it.
Reduce the load
An overloaded washer can cause the motor to stall, triggering this error. Try a smaller load.
The drum should be no more than 3/4 full.
When to call a professional
If the error persists with a normal load after a reset, the motor or motor control board needs professional diagnosis.
