Good Morning julia6982 – Typically error code E42 indicates that the door remains locked after the cycle is completed. Try resetting the unit by either unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker to the off position. It is important to wait approximately ten minutes and then turn on the washer. Can you open the door? If you can but error code continues, then more than like the main control board will need replacing. If you are unable to open the door then the washer could possibly have a faulty door switch assembly.  

Regrettably, error codes E57 and E58 could mean a number of issues, but primarily that the motor is overheating or a higher-than-usual motor current caused by other issues. Typically, an experienced technician would remove the belt to check the motor and motor pulley to ensure all is in working order first. Their next step would be to check the tub pulley and tub bearings. Last items they would examine would be the drive motor and speed control board by ohm measurement. Once the tech has ruled out a number of possibilities, he or she can pinpoint the exact problem and the necessary part to fix the issue. Since parts can often be quite costly, I would personally recommend reaching out to a qualified tech who can accurately diagnose the issue your unit is experiencing.

I hope this information helps to some degree.
