EFME617STT0 Electrolux Dryer and Error 42 (Door Sensing Circuit)


Recommended Posts

I have a EFME617STT0 electric clothes dryer and went in to replace the belt (you could still power the machine up and even turn on the drum motor by pressing all the normal buttons... but post-repair... the door light no longer would come on (everything in that circuit tested good including the door switch and the wiring all the way back to the main board) and the start button would just blink and beep every time you tried to start a drying cycle.  I put it into error reporting mode and got an E42 kicked back out (no other codes) which is a "door sensing" code.  The door switch itself was tested and it works great, the wires examined and continuity tested all the way back to the board.  I have the board pulled and photos attached.  Am trying to figure out which items on this board I should be paying close attention to.  Relays and capacitors?  How do I find the "door-sensing circuit" on this board?  Thank you in advance!

if the switch and the wiring to good, then the board is the culprit. I would check the wiring diagram to make sure there is nothing else in the circuit that could cause the problem before replacing the board.

Looks like connector J4.

Should be these connectors:
