Washer begins to fill normally but after approx 1-2 minutes F50 code appears. Clear code by pressing pause then start and same thing happens again. This happens on any cyles setting, size, etc.
Manual says "call a technician". Any ideas?

Mike,

The F 50 code indicates the control board, is not seeing the proper rotation RPM from the motor control,

First thing to do is check and make sure the inner wash tub moves freely, open the lid and turn the tub by hand, listen closely for a drag sound if it doesn't move very well (something stuck under, or between the tubs).

Start the washer (empty) and make sure the inner tub has raised(floated up) approximately 3/8 " and has cleared the tub drive block when the code appears.

Your technical date sheet, is located on the inside of the front panel, you'll need to raise the top of the machine, (use a putty knife and push in on the two spring clips holding the top down on the cabinet front) and you can run the test modes and diagnostic tests.

Good Luck,
