The problem
A Haier 6kg washing machine displays Error 6, described by the poster as then causing the motor to short out. The discussion does not include a full model number or any confirmed test results.
Likely cause
The accepted reply states that Err 6 on most Haier washing machines means a motor speed error, with the motor connection not properly connected or the motor damaged being the likely explanation.

Err 6 on most Haier washing machines apparently means - "motor speed error, it may not be properly connected or damaged"

Like many error code explanations it's not overly helpful to the general public. I would either get an engineer or consider replacing it depending on how old it is, these are generally cheaper budget machines not renowned for reliability or longevity.
