Washer-dryer shows E50; motor-related error, drum may not turn

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Motor overload, Shorted motor, Faulty motor control circuit, Power supply fluctuation

Safety: Unplug the appliance. Do not repeatedly reset if the breaker trips.

Allow cool-down: If the machine was heavily loaded, allow the motor to cool for 30 minutes and try again with a smaller load.
Check drum and belt: Ensure the drum turns freely and the belt is intact.
Motor and wiring inspection: Inspect the motor, brushes (if fitted), and harness for damage.
Professional diagnosis: E50 often indicates serious motor or PCB issues; if basic checks do not resolve it, contact a Hoover service technician.
