Washer-dryer shows E41; door appears closed but machine reports it as open.

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 interlock switch contact, Loose door lock wiring, Misaligned door hook, Faulty PCB input circuit

Safety: Unplug the appliance.

Check mechanical closure: Confirm the door hook fully enters the lock. Adjust the door hinge if sagging.
Inspect lock wiring: Remove the door seal clamp and access the lock. Ensure the connector is tight and wires are intact.
Replace door lock: If the lock does not signal closed when the door is latched (test with a multimeter), replace it.

If E41 persists with a new lock, the main PCB input may be faulty and require replacement.
