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.

    I have a simmilar issue the drium stopped working and I have an error 40 and a screeching sound. I have opened the back of the machine and the motor is not turning. I cant even turn the motor when the machine is off . I have seen your diagnosis. What do i do next. Chuck the machine or get an expert in to fix it?

Turned off mid cycle. Tried putting back onfor drain, also rinse and restart. Each time get error E40.

Hi.

With AEG washers E40 means defective door lock. Since a faulty door lock switch may go out with vibration you often do not get the error all the time. The door lock switch must be tested and eventually replaced. Call the AEG number listed in the user manual if you want to get in touch with an authorized technician or if you need replacement parts for your washing machine.

Regards.

E30 pressure switch/heater faults.
E40 door switch faults.
E50 motor faults.

These are some of the error codes but there are many variations on some codes depending on the model.Hpoe this has been some help.

Whirlpool Duet Front loader mdl WFW8300SW00 will not start

I had a variety of error codes show up on my duet, and I'm not sure but I seem to recall a 31, but the most constant was 02. I took off the front cover, pulled the white plug out from the unit, put a bucket under it, unscrewed it and drained it. It may be the MCU is having problems because the washer got plugged up.

Frigidare front loader washer error message 20

If you open the top of the washer , there is a "tech" sheet in there to tell you how to reset the error codes.

My washer started this. Then stopped spinning. Now it will not even wash a load. It stops mid-cycle. The ER 20 means that something is not draining right. We checked all of the tubes leading to the pump. Nothing was clogged. The technition seems to think it is a motor controller error.
