Washing Machine does not work and shows error code E40

Zanussi Washing Machine E40 Error Fault Code
Electrolux Time Manager How to Fix Error E40
E40 indicates a problem with the door lock circuit in the appliance.
It could be as simple as a faulty door lock or it can be a faulty main control board.

Rapid reading of alarms:

Press the START/PAUSE button and the nearest option button (4) simultaneously for at least 2 seconds: the LEDs initially switch off, and then display the flashing sequence indicating the last alarm.

After reading error code (look display) will be a lot clearer in which phase of the washing cycle has occurred or is happening malfunction.

New washing machine (electronic) compared to the old models (electromechanical) consume much less water, so it looks that your washing machine is working properly, otherwise it would be stopped. This will be confirmed if the display show E00 which means there is no any malfunction. Any other error code, for exp. E10,E20,E30, E40, E50...... means some malfunction.

Hello Monica, thank you for your post!
Based off the information you have provided your Electrolux washer is displaying an error code of “E40”. I am showing that an “E40” error code means this could be an issue with your door swicth or main control board. I would recommend performing a reset on your washer and you can do that by disconnecting the power cord for at least ten minutes. If you continue to receive the error code once power has been restored you may need to seek assistance from a professional technician for a proper diagnosis. Hopefully this information is helpful to you. –Matt

my AW-1170S toshiba washing machine was showing error code E7 -4...what does it mean?

E40 error is door interlock faulty, could be the lock or it could be the pcb u have to test them.

Hi,
The Error E40 warning means the door is not properly closed. The E40 error code indicates a loss of electrical power usually but not always due to the door not shutting properly or not locking. But, since you smelled burning it could be any electrical short that blew a fuse and shut the machine down. It could also be the motor windings with the internal overload protector shutting it down.
Thank you for contacting Fixya.com

I've just bought one of these machines, and the manual says the E40 warning means the door is not properly closed. Seems like that would be obvious if it were true, but maybe check that it is closing completely.
