What Makes Electrolux Washer Repairs Different
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 drain standpipe should be no taller than 96 inches and at least 1-1/4 inches across, and a hose sealed airtight into the standpipe can slow draining. Source: Electrolux - What should I do if my washer is draining slowly?
