The six flashes means that the motor is locked. This could mean that the motor is bad or the sifter is locked/stuck. Try turning the big pulley on the bottom if the washer and if it turns freely the motor is bad and if not the sifter is bad.

There is one more thing that you should check. Fill the washer with water and see if the pulley on the bottom of the washer pushes down on and touches the bottom of the washer. If this happens the motor may flash that code and the motor may not turn. In this case the apron is bent. This is a common on problem with the earlier models but typically the motor will not hang when this happens but check to just to be sure.
