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
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
