What the E01 Error Code Means
The E01 error code indicates that the washing machine door is not properly shut or that the door lock mechanism has not engaged correctly. The machine will not start or will stop a running programme until the door is confirmed as securely closed. Note that it can take up to 10 minutes for an error code to register after the fault occurs.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Door not fully closed
The most common cause. If the door has not been pushed firmly shut until the locking click is heard, the machine will display E01.
Item of clothing caught in the door seal
A garment or small item trapped between the door and the drum seal can prevent the door from closing fully and engaging the lock.
Faulty door lock or interlock
If the door lock mechanism itself has failed, the machine will not be able to confirm the door is secure even if it appears closed.
Faulty wiring to the door lock
A wiring fault between the door lock and the main control board can cause the machine to report a door fault even when the lock is functioning correctly.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Close the door firmly
Open the door fully and close it again firmly until you hear a distinct click. Press against the door to ensure it is fully latched.
Check for trapped items
Inspect the door seal and the drum opening to ensure no clothing or debris is preventing the door from closing properly.
Reset the machine
Unplug the washing machine from the mains socket. Hold down the Start/Pause button for 10 seconds. Wait 30 seconds then plug back in and try again.
