Communication error between the main electronic control board and the motor control board

Unplug the washer and check the wire harness connections on the main electronic control board, motor control board and drive motor. Reconnect any loose wires and replace any damaged wire harnesses. If there are no wire connection problems, replace the motor control board. If the problem continues, replace the main electronic control board.
