Safety first: Unplug the washer before accessing the motor and rotating components.

Steps to check and correct:

Access the motor: Remove the rear panel and take off the drive belt to expose the motor and tachometer assembly.
Inspect tachometer: On IPSO motors, the tachometer is usually a small coil and magnet assembly at the rear of the motor. Ensure it is firmly attached and that the magnet is not cracked or missing.
Test coil resistance: Disconnect the tachometer connector and measure resistance with a multimeter. Compare to IPSO specs. An open circuit indicates a failed tachometer.
Check wiring harness: Trace the tachometer wires back to the control board, looking for chafing or broken conductors.
Reassemble and test: After securing or replacing the tachometer, refit the belt and panels, then run a spin test. If E16 persists with a good tachometer and wiring, the control board's speed sensing circuit may be defective.

Washer displays E16; often associated with excessive vibration or spin abort
