Hello, I have a Frigidaire Washer Model #GLTF2940ESO that is about 3 years old but only used it for about 8 months and has been sitting in the storage for the past 2 years+. This problem that my washer has now existed before I took my washer to the storage and now I have moved back to a house and need my own washer so I've trying to fix my washer :(. Here is the problem: I am able to do a few loads and everything works perfectly fine, but once I get to about the 3-4 load my washer starts to get weak. It doesn't spin quickly, and if I remember correctly it doesn't do anything about awhile, but here is the wierd thing, Once I let my washer sit for about 2-3 days it starts to work perfectly fine but once again, after a few loads the same problem occurs. Its almost like my washer is charging? lol:confused: . I did the test and got a error code of E59 which means:
E59 - No tacho signal for 3 seconds. - Refer to test (12)
Test (12)
1. Remove the belt from the motor and spin the
motor pulley. Does the motor spin free?
No. Replace the motor.
Yes. Go to step (3)
2. Spin the tub pulley. Does the tub spin free?
No. Check the tub bearings.
Yes. Go to step (3)
3. Disconnect the plug from the drive motor and
measure the resistance between pins 4 & 5
in the motor.
If the meter reads other than between 105 & 130 Ohms,
replace the motor. If the reading is between 105 & 130 Ohms, Go to step (4) 4. Disconnect the plug from the motor and
measure the resistance of the windings (pin
1 to pin 2, pin 1 to pin 3, pin 2 to pin 3). All readings should be between 4 and 6 Ohms. If the readings are correct, replace the speed control
board. If the readings are incorrect, replace the motor. I have not done the Test 12 yet because I thought I'd post here and have a highly tech person point me in the right direction on what the problem might be before I go in and open my washer up. Also, What exactly is 105 & 130 Ohms on step (3)? Must I have a special tool to read this? Early Thanks :D

Oh yeah, I forgot to add that I have not done the Diagnostic Test either, Im not sure if that if that will help with the problem I have with my washer. Here is the chart if it helps. The diagnostic test is performed by using the Program Knob. To START THE TEST:
• On non-digital display models, turn the Program Knob to start position, Drain/Spin.
• On digital display models, turn the Program Knob to start position, Touch Up. (NOTE: If the model has a timer dial that
can be rotated 360°, turn the Program Knob to start position, Drain/Spin.
• Press Pause Cancel to turn off LEDs.
• Within 5 seconds, press and hold the Option and Pause Cancel buttons until LEDs start sequentially chasing, then
release buttons.
1. All the LEDs will sequentially light. Pressing a button below a light cluster will light all the LEDs in that cluster at one time
to confirm functionality.
2. Turn the program knob (1) click clockwise from the start position. The hot water solenoid will activate and hot water
should enter through the detergent compartment.
3. Turn the program knob (2) clicks from the start position. The bleach water solenoid will activate and cold water should
enter through the bleach compartment.
4. Turn the program knob (3) clicks from the start position. The bleach and the wash water solenoids will activate and cold
water should enter through the softener compartment.
5. Turn the program knob (4) clicks from the start position. The door lock solenoid will activate.
6. Turn the program knob (5) clicks from the start position. The door lock solenoid will deactivate and the loading door can
be opened.
7. Turn the program knob (6) clicks from the start position. The washer will fill and tumble.
8. Turn the program knob (7) clicks from the start position. The washer will fill and spin (leakage test).
9. Turn the program knob (8) clicks from the start position. The drain pump and door lock solenoid will activate and the
washer will operate in high spin. SAFETY WARNING: If power is removed during this test, the door can be opened. To
prevent injury, DO NOT put your hands inside when the tub is rotating.
10. Turn the program knob (9) clicks from the start position. The control will signal the last error code.

It is possible that suds are accumulating in the drain hose and slowing down the operation...? (since it works fine after letting the machine seat idle for a while?
