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
The washer can detect hot and cold inlet hoses connected backward and shows HO SE until they are swapped; reversed lines are also listed as a cause of long-fill and long-drain codes. Source: Electrolux - Front loading washer Error Code HO SE reversed hose detection
