Error code 51 usually means a faulty diverter valve. Try and run a wash cycle, and observe the drain hose. If water comes out, the diverter valve should be fine, if no water comes out you should take your diverter valve out and check for debris, or continue to read through the following possibilities of why your washing machine is acting up, and the actions to take.
1. Diverter valve
Action - Check diverter valve continuity. If open circuit, replace diverter valve.
2. Motor Controller Board (drive circuitry blown).
Action - Replace Motor Controller Board
3. Diverter valve harness/connectors.
Action - Replace wiring harness
I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_69f3cc28d95bf514
Do i need to leave my code diverted sim in a mobile phone for the divert to still work?
Hope this helps
That is error code 51, usually a faulty diverter valve or debris stuck therein: Let us read from the sacred parchment:
51. (00110011) Diverter valve timeout fault
The machine has detected that the diverter valve is leaking water to the drain when it should be recirculating.
Check by waiting for re-circulating function and observing if water is coming from the drain hose.
Primary source - Diverter valve
Action - Check diverter valve continuity. If open circuit, replace diverter valve.
Secondary source - Motor Controller Module (drive circuitry blown).
Action - Replace Motor Controller Module
Tertiary source - Diverter valve harness/connectors.
Action - Replace bowl harness

Our washer did the same but it was after I took the excess drain hose and pushed it into the drain in the wall. I thought it looked "more tidy" In doing so I created a siphon effect. Once I pulled the excess hose back out it was fine.
