Washer-dryer combo displays E41; control thinks the door is open even when closed.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Defective door lock switch contacts, Misaligned door strike, Broken latch mechanism, Wiring fault between door lock and control board

Safety: Disconnect power.

1. Verify door strike: Inspect and replace the door strike if worn or broken so it fully engages the lock.
2. Replace door lock: If the strike is good but E41 persists, the internal switch in the door lock is likely faulty. Replace the door lock assembly.
3. Check harness: Inspect the harness from the lock to the control for damage.

After replacement, clear the error by unplugging for a few minutes and retrying a cycle.
