Bosch WAW285H2UC 2.7 cu ft Compact Front Load Washer with EcoSilence Motor Er:10 Error Fix: Motor / Drive Fault

The wash motor or motor drive system has failed. The motor is not reaching the expected speed or is drawing excessive current. Check for items jammed between the inner and outer tub. Inspect the motor wiring harness. On NEXXT washers, the motor control unit (inverter) drives a brushless DC motor. Check the motor control board for burn marks. If the drum turns freely by hand but the motor will not run, the motor windings or motor control board may be faulty.
