How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before servicing the door lock.
- Verify closure: Confirm nothing is obstructing the door seal or latch area on the Insignia washer.
- Inspect lock assembly: Access the lock by removing the front gasket clamp. Check for broken plastic or misaligned components.
- Check wiring: Ensure the lock harness is fully seated and wires are intact.
- Replace lock: If the switch inside the lock is not changing state (requires meter or service mode to confirm), replace the door lock assembly.
- Control board check: If a new lock does not clear E41, the main board input circuit may be faulty and require professional service.
