Washer-dryer intermittently shows E44; door status seems inconsistent (machine thinks door is open/closed incorrectly).

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

Faulty door lock sensor contact, Loose connector at door lock, PCB input fault, Intermittent wiring connection

Safety: Disconnect power.

Reseat connectors: Remove and refit the door lock connector several times to clean contacts.
Replace door lock: If E44 recurs, fit a new lock assembly as the internal sensor may be unreliable.
Inspect PCB: If a new lock does not help, the PCB input circuit may be defective and require replacement.
