E59
Possible Meanings of error E59:
- No tachometer signal:
- This is the most common interpretation of the E59 error. The tachometer is a sensor that measures the motor's speed. If the control board doesn't receive a signal from the tachometer within 3 seconds, it can trigger the E59 error.
- Faulty tachometer:
- The tachometer itself might be malfunctioning and unable to send a signal.
- Wiring or connection problem:
- Damaged or loose wiring between the tachometer, motor, and control board can disrupt communication and cause the error.
- Control board issue:
- In rare cases, the main control board might be misinterpreting sensor readings or failing to process the tachometer signal, leading to the E59 error.
