Speed Queen Washer Error Code DOOR/FINAL SPIN LEDs Flashing

When both the DOOR and FINAL SPIN LEDs flash simultaneously, the washer is indicating a motor failure error. The motor control board has detected a fault condition and sent a failure signal to the main control, which then shuts off all machine outputs. The washer will not operate again until the motor circuit is diagnosed, the fault is corrected, and the machine is unpowered to clear the error.

Start by unplugging the washer, then use a multimeter to check motor resistance at the specified terminals. The tachometer circuit at terminals 4 and 5 should read approximately 115 ohms, and each winding pair at terminals 1-2, 1-3, and 2-3 should read approximately 4 to 5 ohms. Readings outside these ranges indicate a failed motor, while in-range readings with a persistent fault may point to a bad motor control board or wiring harness issue.

Repair costs depend on the failed component. A replacement drive motor typically runs in the range of $150 to $350 for the part alone, while a motor control board can range from $100 to $300 or more. Adding professional labor costs will increase the total. If only a wiring harness or connector repair is needed, costs can be significantly lower.

Unplugging the machine is required to clear the stored error, but it will not fix the underlying problem. If the motor fault condition still exists when power is restored, the error will return immediately. The motor and its associated wiring must be diagnosed and repaired before the reset will hold.

No, the washer is not safe to operate in this condition. When the motor failure error is active, the control shuts off all outputs and the machine will not run a cycle. Attempting to force operation without addressing the underlying fault could cause further damage to the motor or control board components.
