AEG Washer Error Code E40, E41, E42

AEG washing machine error codes E40 E41 E42, and their causes and solutions

If you see error codes E40, E41, or E42 on your washing machine’s display, it could mean that the door lock is faulty. If the door of your AEG washing machine does not close even though the handle appears to be in good condition, this may be due to a defective door lock. If the door latch does not engage with the lock, the door cannot close, preventing you from washing laundry and potentially damaging the machine.

How to solve the E40 E41 E42 error code problem

1. Make sure the washing machine door is closed and locked tightly. An error code (E40) may be displayed if the door is not closed properly. Restart the cycle, making sure the door is securely closed.

2. Carefully inspect the door locking mechanism for damage or wear. This mechanism is responsible for locking the door during operation. If it is defective or worn, it may need to be replaced.

3. Sometimes restarting the washing machine can resolve temporary errors. Unplug the machine from the power supply for a few minutes, then plug it back in and start a wash cycle.

4. Check for obstructions around the door or inside the machine that may prevent it from closing properly. Remove any debris or objects that may be preventing the door from closing.

5. Make sure the door seal is clean and free of debris. A dirty or damaged door seal can prevent the door from closing properly, which can result in an error code.

6. If the above steps do not solve the problem, you may need to check the integrity of the door lock mechanism with a multimeter. If the door lock is defective, it will need to be replaced.

If you are unable to identify or resolve the problem yourself, contact a qualified technician to diagnose the problem. Do not use the appliance until the problem has been completely resolved.
