      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological. 
      We have a special session planned for this one. Instead of the usual Show 'n Tell on a technical topic, we're going to post tech sheets in the comments to this Calendar Event (scroll down to see what's posted so far) and ask specific questions that can only be answered by reading the tech sheet. If you at least try to answer the questions beforehand, you'll get a lot more out of it. The tech sheet and the questions are posted in the comments section below.
      Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to check out the questions for each one and try to answer them ahead of time. Then come to the Dojo to see how well you did! 
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, April 27 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom
      How:

Set a reminder for yourself for this workshop so you don’t miss it.  And check out past workshops here: https://appliantology.org/announcement/33-webinar-recordings-index-page/

Should I trust this Kenmore error code?

My Kenmore 417.48102701, when any cycle is started, activates the door lock and that’s all.  When going through its step test, the blinking lights indicate an E56 error.  This is a problem with the motor or speed controller.  Makes sense, the motor never spins during the step test.  The motor ohms out as it should… but before ordering a speed controller, I’d like to run this by you experts to confirm that this is likely the problem.

The reason I have any doubt at all is that when I try to view the code by pressing Start & Pause/Cancel, the lights do the 5 blinks for the first digit but just do a quick flash for the second digit and return to normal standby appearance.  Should I trust the clear '5-6' I see during the step test or should I suspect a bad main controller for giving me conflicting codes?  Also, does the fact that the machine doesn't even fill with water cast doubt on the motor being the issue?

Any advice here will be greatly appreciated.
