What a Electrolux Washer Technician Deals With
The control board watches a door switch and a door lock: E41 means it reads the door as open, while E42 means the lock itself is not being recognized, so a tech checks the latch, striker and lock assembly. Source: Electrolux - Front loading washer Error Code E42 door lock device failure
Supply pressure is specified at 30 to 120 psi with no more than about 10 psi difference between hot and cold, and the inlet connectors carry filters that can clog. Source: Electrolux - Laundry Water Supply Guide
