Check water "forreign object trap". It's under the lid at the bottom of the machine. First drain water by pulling out the hose and pull out the plug. Then unscrew the trap. Have had this E20 error twice. First it was two coins there, next it was a big paperclip. Have worked fine ever since.11_20_2011_8_57_27_am.jpg

SOURCE: e40 error code

The E40 error code indicates a loss of electrical power usually but not always due to the door not shutting properly or not locking. But, since you smelled burning it could be any electrical short that blew a fuse and shut the machine down. It could also be the motor windings with the internal overload protector shutting it down.

Built in machine. It show error e40. What does it meant

Hello Monica, thank you for your post!
Based off the information you have provided your Electrolux washer is displaying an error code of “E40”. I am showing that an “E40” error code means this could be an issue with your door swicth or main control board. I would recommend performing a reset on your washer and you can do that by disconnecting the power cord for at least ten minutes. If you continue to receive the error code once power has been restored you may need to seek assistance from a professional technician for a proper diagnosis. Hopefully this information is helpful to you. –Matt

What does e40 mean on a frigidaire washer

Hello plauano - Typically error code E40 indicates that the washer has detected a door switch or main control board problem. Try resetting the unit by unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes (this usually clear most false error codes). If it proves to be ineffective contact a professional to move forward accurately.

Error e40 come up on my washing machine zwd 1472 s

Hello,
E40 normally points to a fault at the door switch,sometimes when the door switch fault occurs it can also cause damage to the main P.C.B.(Programmer).As this machine is still in the major parts warranty it would be advisable to get in touch with Electrolux.
