Washer-dryer shows E41 intermittently, door appears closed but machine thinks it is open on Xiaomi combo washer-dryer.

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

Worn door lock microswitch, Loose wiring to Xiaomi door lock, Slightly bent door latch, Control board input instability

Safety first: Unplug before accessing the door lock.

1. Check for play in door: Gently lift the door when closed. Excessive movement can prevent reliable lock detection; tighten hinges if needed.
2. Inspect lock wiring: Access the Xiaomi door lock from behind the front panel and ensure the connector is tight.
3. Replace door lock: If E41 continues, replace the door lock assembly, as the internal microswitch may be worn.
4. If still unresolved: The main control board may misread the signal and should be evaluated by a technician.
