Lisa for Model Number atf67000f s1 I have the error e41 on my washer. I am not a repair person at all but I can read and follow directions. I do better if I am shown how to do something as well as read the instructions. Are there any videos on how to replace the control panel? Plus I have no clue how to check the ohms, can you explain how to do this and what tools I would need?
Answer Hello Lisa, The E-41 fault code means that the control board isn't getting the completed circuit required to tell the control that the door is closed. This can be a bad connection, (J-2 connector), a bad door switch 131763256, or the control 134743500 has failed. Most of these I have serviced has been a poor or intermittent connection between the door switch and the control. In about 30% of the cases, the door switch had to be replaced. In probably 5% to 10% of the cases, the control wasn't reading a proper signal being sent back to it. Of course you do need to unplug and reconnect the wiring to and from the door switch to the control to ensure a proper connection and don't forget to check the door strike. If the door isn't striking correctly it will tear up the door latch or the striker. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, September 17, 2012
