Washer displays E40; door is reported as open when starting a cycle.

Safety first: Unplug the washer before adjusting hinges or replacing the lock.

• Close door firmly: Ensure no clothing is trapped and push the door until you hear a click.
• Inspect hinges: Check for sagging or loose screws on the door hinges. Tighten or adjust as needed.
• Door lock test: Access the door lock and test continuity of the door-closed switch. Replace the lock if it does not change state when the door is closed.
• Strike alignment: Adjust or replace the door strike so it enters the lock squarely.
