RE: ERROR E40 ON ELECTROLUX ZANUSSI JETSYSTEM 1200

Zanussi Washing Machine E40 Error Fault Code
Electrolux Time Manager How to Fix Error E40
E40 indicates a problem with the door lock circuit in the appliance.
It could be as simple as a faulty door lock or it can be a faulty main control board.

Zanussi has several washer models with 6 KG capacity 1200 RPM spin speed specifications. You need the model number to find the manual here: http://www.zanussi.co.uk/support/manuals/ . The model number for a front load washer is inside the door on the lower right of the opening.

For the ZWG7120P, you need to press and hold both the Temperature and the Spin buttons for 6 seconds to toggle the lock on or off. (This time is approximate.) These are the two buttons closest to the program selector dial. There is a small padlock icon in a curved line below and between the buttons. The direct link to the manual for this model in English is http://www.electrolux-ui.com//DocumentDownLoad.aspx?DocURL=2010\132\948930EN.pdf .

I hope this helps. Please add a comment with your washer model if the above child lock directions do not work on your machine.

E40 is a door lock fault code, you need to replace the door lock,
you cannot reset the fault code, this happens automatically when the fault is rectified. nice easy job though.

I don't have an electrolux, but I have an LG front loader. Mine was giving a simular error code, and I found the drain hose filter was clogged. Bee running fine since

Door interlock problems

it might spoil

pump check filter

E20 and E10

E40 indicates the doors not closed properly. Sometimes it can be the lock itself or the main control board

hiya
e90 means there is a communication error between the circuit boards inside. remove the plug then take the lid off the machine, remove the block which has the 5 (iirc) blue wires in it and give it a quick squeeze then replace, this should hopefully solve your problem.

hope this helps
