Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before accessing the door lock.
- Check movement of door: Wiggle the door gently when closed; excessive play can cause intermittent contact.
- Inspect door lock wiring: Access the door lock behind the front panel and ensure the connector is tight. Look for broken or frayed wires where the harness passes around the cabinet.
- Replace door lock: If E41 occurs frequently, replace the door interlock assembly with a Bush-compatible part, as intermittent failures often worsen over time.
- Further diagnosis: If a new lock does not resolve the issue, the control PCB input circuit may be faulty and require professional testing.
