Open the door, clear any clothing or debris, and close it until you hear a click. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### How do I know my Electrolux door is fully shut for E41? Electrolux says to listen for a click when the door closes completely. No click means the latch has not caught. ### E41 keeps coming back on my Electrolux with the door shut. What then? The latch or the striker may not be working, which Electrolux asks you to check. If they look fine, book a visit. --- **[Read on the site: Electrolux washer showing E41 | WasherRepair.center](https://washerrepair.center/error-codes/electrolux-e41/)** **[Book a visit with WasherRepair.center](https://washerrepair.center/schedule/)**
