Washer shows E41 even though the door appears closed.

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 switch contacts, Loose door lock connector, Broken internal microswitch, Wiring fault to PCB

Safety first: Unplug the washer before accessing the door lock.

Check door lock connector: Access the lock behind the front panel and ensure the wiring plug is fully seated.
Test switch continuity: With the door closed, use a multimeter to check continuity across the lock’s door-closed contacts. Replace the lock if the switch does not close.
Inspect wiring: Trace the harness from the lock to the PCB for breaks or pin damage. Repair as needed.
