Electrolux ELFW7637AW 4.0 cu ft Front Load Washer with Steam and Sanitize Cycle E59 Error Fix: No Tachometer Signal for 3 Seconds

The motor tachometer signal was lost for more than 3 consecutive seconds during motor operation. The motor stopped unexpectedly or the tachometer wiring has an intermittent connection. Different from E52 in that E59 indicates a signal was present but was lost. Check for loose tachometer wiring connections that could vibrate apart during spin. Check the motor carbon brushes for wear (if applicable). A worn drive belt that slips can also cause momentary tach loss. Replace the motor if the tachometer has an intermittent connection.
