Frigidaire Washer Error Code E58: How to Fix It

Q: Can a bad control board cause error E58?

Yes, a failed control board can send incorrect signals to the motor, mimicking a shorted winding. Test the board if the motor checks out.

Q: How much does it cost to fix error E58?

DIY: motor replacement parts cost $80-$200, control board $100-$250. Professional repair including labor may range from $250-$500.

Q: Will error E58 clear itself after a power cycle?

No, the code is stored. Even if the condition is intermittent, the error will remain until the root cause is fixed. Cycling power may temporarily clear it but it will return.

Q: What does 'motor windings shorted' mean?

It means the internal coils of the motor have lost insulation and are touching each other or the motor frame, causing a short circuit. This prevents the motor from running properly.

Q: Can I just replace the bearings or brushes instead of the whole motor?

For a winding short, replacing individual components is not possible because the short is inside the windings. The entire motor must be replaced.

Abstract

Error code E58 on your Frigidaire washer indicates a short in the motor windings. This usually means the motor has failed internally or there is a wiring issue. Ignoring this error can damage other components, so prompt troubleshooting is recommended.
