Zanussi zwf1430s error codes - E40 / E41 & ELE

Had error code E40 - found out that this is either the door interlock or main pcb (EEK!)
Did a little more research and managed to get another code displayed of E41. Achieved this by holding down the start/pause button & skip buttons together, then switched machine on. Leds then flashed around the display board. Can't remember what I did next, but got a code of ELE in the display?
Any ideas what this means?
Many Thanks
Tracy

    Earlier I went to put the washing on and the error code E40 appeared, I pressed start and kept making this 'clicking' noise and then would stop and the code appear. Came on internet and typed in 'Zanussi washing machine E40'. On different help sites it said E40 could be the door so I went down again, turned it on, slammed the door and pressed start and it started working. Hope that's all it is.

Hi

ele means the pcb is in factory settings . all you need to do is turn back off the on again then will be back to normal use. but e41 usally means the door lock has failed. does it click alot when you start it up and not do anything? if so this will be the lock

SOURCE: Zanussi ZWF1437W washing machine - wont start

The error message "Err" usually indicates that the wash program and option are not compatible. 40 degrees and 900 rpm Spin should be o.k.. I would try another wash program with no special options and see if the problem goes away.

SOURCE: Zanussi Electrolux ZWF 1430 W (E20 error)

Check water "forreign object trap". It's under the lid at the bottom of the machine. First drain water by pulling out the hose and pull out the plug. Then unscrew the trap. Have had this E20 error twice. First it was two coins there, next it was a big paperclip. Have worked fine ever since.11_20_2011_8_57_27_am.jpg

Showing on screen E41

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 the nearest option button simultaneously 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.

Turn on my jet system 1200 fj 1254w xc just makes clicking sound

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.
