Washer shows E14 and does not start; often related to door or safety circuits

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 closed sensor in interlock, Broken wiring in door harness, PCB input fault, Misaligned door catch

Safety: Disconnect power.

Check door alignment: Ensure the door closes squarely and the catch fully enters the lock.
Inspect door lock connector: Remove the front gasket clamp and access the lock. Reseat the connector and check for broken wires.
Test door closed contact: With a multimeter, verify that the door-closed microswitch inside the lock changes state when the door is latched. If not, replace the lock.

If the lock and wiring are good, the PCB may not be reading the signal correctly and could require replacement.
