Washer-dryer combo displays E41 and may unlock the door unexpectedly or refuse to lock.

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 sensor, Loose wiring to lock, Faulty main PCB input circuit, Intermittent door latch engagement

Safety first: Unplug the unit before removing the door lock.

Check door engagement: Ensure the latch fully enters the lock. Adjust hinges if necessary.
Inspect lock wiring: Access the lock as described earlier and verify all connectors are tight.
Replace lock: If the lock intermittently reports open when closed, replace the Midea door lock assembly.
Control board check: If a new lock does not resolve E41, the main PCB may be misreading the signal and should be evaluated by a technician.
