Washer shows E40 and will not start; door symbol may flash.

Safety first: Ensure the washer is stable and not rocking before closing the door.

• Clear obstructions: Remove any clothing or objects trapped between the door and rubber gasket.
• Close door firmly: Push the door until you hear a distinct click from the lock.
• Inspect hinges and latch: Check for sagging door or loose hinge screws. Tighten or adjust as needed so the latch aligns with the lock.

If E40 continues even when the door is clearly closed, the door lock assembly or its wiring may be faulty and should be inspected or replaced.
