Possible Causes

Door not fully closed, Misaligned door latch or hinge, Faulty door lock switch contacts, Broken door strike

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the door is closed before starting any cycle.

  • Close door firmly: Push the Insignia washer door closed until you hear a click. Do not slam, as this can damage the latch.
  • Inspect strike and latch: Check the door strike for cracks or looseness. Tighten screws or replace if damaged.
  • Check hinge alignment: If the door sags or rubs, adjust or tighten the hinges so the latch lines up correctly.
  • Test lock switch: If E40 persists, the door lock switch inside the lock assembly may not be signaling closed. Replace the Insignia door lock assembly if necessary.
