Know Your Electrolux Washer
How Electrolux Washers Are Built
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
What Electrolux Says to Check First
- Shaking, thumping or off balance. Confirm shipping bolts and foam were removed, level the washer on a solid floor, and redistribute or add a couple of similar items to an unbalanced load. Source: Electrolux - Laundry Washers Noises Guide
- Controls won't respond. A LOC display means the control lock is on; turn it off from the control lock option before starting a cycle. Source: Electrolux - Front loading washer Error Code LOC control lock activator
