Error Code: E41 Difficulty: Moderate
Problem: Door opened at start.
How to Fix E41 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Unplug the dryer from the wall outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Open the dryer door and locate the door switch, typically a small plastic component that is pressed when the door closes.
- Check if the door switch clicks when you press and release it. If it doesn’t, it may be faulty.
- Inspect the wiring connected to the door switch for any loose or damaged connections.
- If the switch and wiring appear to be in good condition, the issue may lie with the door latch and strike. Ensure they align and engage correctly.
- If the problem persists, the door switch assembly may need to be replaced.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
