What does an e41 error code mean for a frigidaire front loader model ATF7000EE0?

The Frigidaire Affinity Washer Error E41 is a door lock error. It means the primary control thinks the door is open. If the door is closed and this error persists, then in most cases, you will need to replace the door lock assembly on the washer. Sometimes this error can be caused by the control board, but it's more common for the door lock assembly to have failed than the control board.

Frigidaire Affinity Washer Error Code E41 = Control board thinks the door switch is open. Usually replacing the door switch fixes and clears the error code.

I appreciate your post, Trent!

Based off the information you have provided your Frigidaire washer is displaying an error code of E41 and the door is locked and will not open. An E41 error code means that your main control board thinks the door is open. I would recommend performing a reset on your washer and you can do that by disconnecting power from your washer for at least ten minutes. If that does not help correct your issue it could be a possible problem with your door lock assembly, control panel, or wiring harness. You may need to seek assistance from a professional technician to avoid unnecessary part purchases. I hope this is helpful to you. -Matt

Good Morning friend, that's a great question!

I see that your Frigidaire washer, ATF7000ES0, is displaying an error code of "E41" and you would like assistance in troubleshooting that code. An "E41" typically stands for your main control board thinks the door switch is open. This could be a possible problem with your door switch assembly or main control board. I would recommend performing a reset just in case there is a miscommunication within the board and you can do that by disconnecting power from your washer for roughly ten minutes. If you restore power and continue to see an "E41" I would look over the door switch to make sure it is not damaged. If any electrical components need to be replaced I would suggest having a professional technician out to properly disassemble your washer. This will help you to avoid any future issues. -Matt

Hello Scott - If you are receiving an error code E41, your loading door may be ajar. Double-check to ensure that it is closed. If it is secure, reset the power to your appliance for about 30 seconds. You can do this by unplugging the unit or flipping your circuit breaker into the off position. If the error persists, it could either be the door switch assembly or your unit's main control board. In that case, a certified technician would generally replace the faulty part after proper diagnosis.

Hello Marcee Peterson - Typically error code E41 indicates that washer has detected that the main control board thinks the door switch is open. Try reprogramming the washer by unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes and restart unit. If it proves to be ineffective, contact a professional to move forward accurately and properly assist with the repairs.

I was wondering did u ever figure this out i have same code ...but mine will run a little water then drain and never spins but got the code E5E too

Hello phrainer3 - Error code E41 indicates that the main control board thinks the door switch is open. Contact a professional to check the continuity between the pins in the plug and door strike. The unit either has a defective door switch assembly or main control board.

E41 - Control board thinks the door switch is open.

PAU means PAUSE in the cycle; if you are try all methods, I assume that the control panel needs to be replaced.
