Speed Queen Washer Error Code FINAL SPIN/RINSE LEDs Flashing

When the FINAL SPIN and RINSE LEDs flash together, the washer is signaling an SPI communications error between the front-end control board and the motor control board. The machine shuts off all outputs when this fault occurs to protect components. The most common starting points for diagnosis are the fuse on the motor control board and the supply voltage at specific terminals on both control boards. The washer must be fully powered down to clear this error.

No. When this fault is detected, the washer shuts off all outputs, meaning the machine will not run a cycle anyway. Attempting repeated restarts without diagnosing the cause could stress the control boards further. The washer should be left unpowered until the fault is properly diagnosed and repaired.

Start by inspecting the fuse on the motor control board: tighten the fuse holder and replace the fuse if it tests open. Next, measure voltage across terminals H1-1 and H1-3 on the motor control board and across terminals H6-5 and H6-6 on the machine control board to confirm proper supply levels. If both voltage checks and the fuse pass, inspect the wiring harness between the two boards for damage, corrosion, or loose connectors. If all wiring and power checks are good, one or both control boards may need to be replaced.

Powering down the machine is required to clear this error, but unplugging alone will not fix the underlying problem. If the root cause, such as a blown fuse or a wiring fault, is not corrected first, the error will return as soon as the washer attempts to operate. A full repair of the communication fault must be completed before the machine will run reliably.

Repair costs vary depending on the root cause. If only a fuse needs replacement, the part cost is minimal, though a service call will still apply. If a motor control board or front-end control board requires replacement, parts and labor together typically range from $150 to $450 or more depending on your location and the specific boards involved. Getting an accurate diagnosis before ordering parts helps avoid unnecessary expense.
