Code 51 The controller has detected a drop in water level during the initial recirculating stage. Water should only be recirculating back in to the bowl & no water should be escaping out of the drain hose. If it is then you will get a drop in the water level. Check that wires are still connected to the divertor valve which is mounted underneath right next to the drain pump. There may also be some foreign object inside the divertor stopping the valve from going right over to the recirculating position or the valve itself may be faulty & needs replacing.
