Error codes are model dependent, so the same brand may have more than one listed.
| Code | Brand | What it means | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| E40 | AEG | Means a door locking fault, where the door is not fully closed, the seal is obstructed, or the door lock mechanism is faulty. It is usually caused by a door not closing properly or a faulty door lock. | High |
| E41 | AEG | Means the door or lid is not closed properly, the machine is overloaded, or the door lock mechanism is faulty, with the control board detecting the door switch open. It is usually caused by a door not closing properly, overloading, or a faulty door lock. | High |
| E40 | Electrolux | Means the machine cannot detect that the door is closed and securely locked, preventing the cycle from starting. It is usually caused by a door lock fault, or trapped laundry or excess load. | High |
| E42 | Electrolux | Means the main control board cannot detect that the door is securely locked, often with a clicking noise as the lock fails to engage. It is usually caused by a faulty door lock, damaged wiring, or a control board fault. | High |
| E43 | Electrolux | Means the door is not locking properly or the main control board cannot detect that it is locked. It is usually caused by a faulty door lock assembly, damaged wiring, or a malfunctioning control board. | High |
| E44 | Electrolux | Means the machine cannot detect that the door is properly closed and locked. It is usually caused by trapped laundry, a damaged door seal, a faulty door lock mechanism, or a faulty main board. | High |
| E45 | Electrolux | Means the machine cannot lock the door or the control board cannot detect that it is locked. It is usually caused by a broken wax motor, a faulty door latch, or damaged wiring. | High |
| E40 | Zanussi | Means a door lock issue, with the door not properly closed or locked, or the interlock mechanism failed. It is usually caused by an improperly closed door or a faulty door lock assembly. | High |
| E41 | Zanussi | Means the machine has detected that the door is open or not securely locked. It is usually caused by an improperly closed door, an overloaded drum, or a faulty door interlock switch. | High |
| E42 | Zanussi | Means a door lock malfunction, specifically a problem with the door aperture closure mechanism. It is usually caused by damage or debris on the door lock assembly, with the same fault family covering E43 door interlock triac, E44 door closure sensing circuit, and E45 triac sensing circuit. | High |
| E43 | Zanussi | Means a faulty door lock mechanism or an issue with the control board's ability to detect that the door is securely closed. It is usually caused by a failure in the door lock circuit triac on the main PCB, or in the lock itself. | High |
| E44 | Zanussi | Means a fault with the door lock sensing circuit, leaving the machine unable to detect that the door is securely closed. It is usually caused by a faulty door lock assembly, a poor latch connection, or a failure on the main control board. | High |
| E45 | Zanussi | Means a fault within the sensing circuit of the triac that controls the door lock. It is usually caused by a faulty door interlock, or wiring between the lock and the main control board. | High |

Excellent item. Brand new genuine part. Arrived quickly and well packaged. Many thanks
If your door lock is making a slow steady click/click/click sound it's likely that the door lock neds to be swapped out. You will need to remove the white plastic cover before installing, otherwise it's a straightforward job. Part ordered Saturday evening, arrived first thing Tuesday - best price and service.
I have purchased a few items from ransome and the parts have all been top quality the last item I purchased was very very great quality and easy to fit
Our AEG washing matching frequently gave an alarm (door interlock failure) and refused to wash, very frustrating when there is washing to do. The new door lock from Ransom Spares was a really easy fit without having to move the machine, just ease the seal and remove two screws to remove the failing lock. Slide on the connector, replace the screws, ease the seal back into place and now we have a washing machine that washes. Great result in the time it took to write this recommendation.
This is probably the easiest thing to fit in the world! after being accused of breaking my washing machine by my other half I took it upon myself to prove him wrong. took me 5 minutes to fix the new part and now I finally have clean washing once more. I think he is still in shock that I....a girl can fix this sort of thing with the help of youtube!
