It started when wife did load of clothes and after machine stopped everything was still wet. When I removed clothes I thought that she had it overloaded. Then checked for codes and got an F7 and an F5 code and not sure how long they were there. I Followed the proceedure in the Service Manual to clear codes and run diagnostic. Codes are now clear and not coming back but I don’t think that I am actually getting it in diagnostic mode. I can get the 88 on the screen but then nothing else happens and I also cannot even find the way to manually test. Anyway I did an ohm test on Motor all terminals at 5.9 ohms which is good. Also checked the 2 motor control wires which also checked out good at approximately 117 ohm. When doing a wash, when washer gets to point where the tub would turn It has a slight jump and then nothing. I am sure the motor is good. Also checked the ground wires and they seem okay but one of them goes to the back of tub and that whole area is rusted I get continuity at the wire but not when I touch the rusted area. I have noticed by reading all these that a lot of people have trouble with the diagnostics and that is the first thing I want to make sure that I can make happen. Thank you and hope you can answer this by what I have provided.
Tried to run diagnostics. Not sure if it is actually going into them because it seems to just go though wash cycle, stop and then there are no codes.
First time this happened when I checked codes there was and F7 and F5 (Motor and control lock) But these codes have not shown again.
After checking motor I ran a wash cycle with same result. It goes through the whole wash except there is no spinning whatsoever. When wash is done, clothes are wet and there are no trouble codes coming up. (See above)
Have checked the ground wires and toe and back panel switches. Did ohm test on motor which shows good. Can’t really get to the control unit unless I pull motor but I have read that there is no way to actually check that. Please help and Thank you

Hello
See the video and additional information on your washer. See the diagnostic test below for stored factory codes. This test is accurate. Matt Ace technician
DIAGNOSTIC TEST
Entry modes:
■ Universal mode across all products using a sequence
of any three buttons. It displays error history prior to entry
into service diagnostic.
Operation modes:
■ Display of the error states that have been recorded
by the washer.
■ Run through of an automated test.
■ Clearing of error codes.
Starting Service History Mode & Diagnostic Test:
NOTE: The washer must be empty and the control must be
in the OFF state before pressing the touch-pad sequence to
start the test.
1. Close the door.
2. Select any three different keys (except POWER).
Individually press these in a sequence of 1, 2, 3 and then
repeat this sequence two more times. This sequence must
be completed within 8 seconds of the first key press.
These three keys are referred to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd key
3. Upon entry into service diagnostics, the console will beep
(if available) and all console LED lights will turn on for
5 seconds.
4. Any error codes will be displayed in the Estimated Time
Remaining display. If there are no error codes stored,
88 will be displayed. On models without a display, the
WASH LED will flash to indicate the error code. If there
are no error codes stored, the WASH LED remains on.
NOTE: This program recalls the most recent error code first.
5. After entry into service diagnostics using the 1st, 2nd, and
3rd keys, each of these keys will have unique functions
regarding service diagnostics as detailed in the following

When I try diagnostics the way described above only 88 comes on display and nothing further happens. When I tried diagnostics as described in the tech sheet below (which by the way is completely different from above) It shows a flashing SD on the panel but as described in tech sheet when I press the same key to advance through the test error codes nothing changes and the SD is still flashing which lasts five minutes before machine shuts off. No water enters machine and no spin, nothing happens after that and 5 minutes later the machine is off.

Hello The ( SD ) error is A SUDS LOCK (OVERDOSE OF DETERGENT DETECTED DURING THE WASH CYCLE). If suds are detected continuously by the pressure switch during the drain or spin phases, the washer will fill 4 liters of water and, for 5 minutes, it will rest without tumbling, the water will be drained, and it will try to spin or drain again. NOTE: Only for those models with Estimated Time Remaining display Possible Causes/Procedure If too much detergent was used: – Run the washer through a RINSE/SPIN cycle. – Run a NORMAL cycle without adding any detergent. This should clear the washer of the excess detergent. – Check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or kinked. – Is the drain standpipe higher than 96”? This can cause pump cavitations, resulting in same failure code. – Unplug washer or disconnect power. – Make sure that all wire harness connections at the Drain Pump, Pressure Switch, & CCU (PR6 & DP2 cavities) connectors are not broken or with wires detached, and that connector internal pins are visible. – Check continuity from the following components: A) Drain Pump & CCU (DP2 cavity) connectors B) Pressure Switch & CCU (PR6 cavity) connectors. – If the continuity diagnosis failed, Main Harness must be replaced. – Check the resistance of the motor pump. See page 7. – Check/clean drain pump filter of foreign objects. – Check the pressure switch for proper operation. Remove hose from pressure switch. Dislodge any debris buildup in the hose inside the outer tub. Debris inside the hose will not allow the switch to sense a pressure change. – Check pressure switch operation. Remove pressure switch. Blowing air through the opening, the one internal switch is heard. – Make continuity test to the Pressure SW. See page 7. – Plug in washer or reconnect power. – Verify the washer operation by performing a Diagnostic Test. See page 5. In technician diagnostic sheet. –
