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
Water level is monitored by a pressure sensor, which raises E35 when it reads an overfill condition. Source: Electrolux - Front loading washer Error Code E35 pressure sensor indicates water overfill

What Alexandria Owners Should Know
Virginia American Water (Alexandria District), which supplies Alexandria, reports hardness of about 113 mg/L (6.6 grains per gallon) total hardness as CaCO3 (moderately hard). Hard water leaves scale on washer inlet screens and heating parts and calls for the right detergent dose, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.

Virginia's Board for Contractors has no appliance repair license classification, but its gas fitting contracting specialty covers installing, repairing or removing gas piping and appliances attached to real property. Source: 18VAC50-22-30, Definitions of specialty services
In Virginia, you can check a license with the DPOR License Lookup or report a problem to the Office of the Attorney General of Virginia, Consumer Protection Section.
