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.

Family error code E40 is visible to customers and (could be E41,E42,E43,E44 and E45 only visible in service mode) means problem with open door or door interlock.

Obviously appeared family error code E40 (visible to the customer) what means a problem with door interlock. Could be: door open (mechanical failure), door interlock malfunction, the problem with main PCB (triac) or wiring. In service mode you can see exactly error code: E41,E42,E43,E44 or E45.

Family error code E40 is visible to customers and (could be E41,E42,E43,E44 and E45 only visible in service mode) means problem with open door or door interlock.
I suggest rapid reading alarm code when appliance is in normal operating mode (e.g. during the execution of the washing
programme):
Press and hold down START/PAUSE and any of the option buttons for at least two seconds: the LEDs initially switch off, and then display the flashing sequence corresponding to the alarm.
The alarm sequence continues as long as the two buttons are held down.
E41 - Door open
E42 - Problems of door closure
E43 - Interlock power supply triac faulty
E44 - Door interlock sensor faulty
E45 - Door interlock sensing circuit triac faulty

Possible causes:
Door interlock faulty, wiring faulty or PCB faulty.

I don't have an electrolux, but I have an LG front loader. Mine was giving a simular error code, and I found the drain hose filter was clogged. Bee running fine since

Hi dear.Related to your problem,E40 means:

• The door is not firmly closed. (E40)

• The machine is not plugged in or there is no power

at the socket.

• The main fuse has blown.

• The type of fabric has not been selected by means of

the relevant selector dial.

• The Start/Pause button has not been depressed.
• The Delay Start option has been selected

Please checked those followings.I hope that helps.Thanks.

e40 is the alarm if machine started with door open. door lock may be faulty or connections/ wiring to it. possible for door ******/handle to come mis aligned in the door you have to split the door to check the handle shaft has not come out. watch where the springs go. the clicking is the electronic trying to lock the door.

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

E40 is a door related problem. Possible causes are faulty door interlock or door circuit triac on the main PCB.
Most likely cause is the door interlock.
