What that error code means — and what you can safely check

Candy washing machine E04 error code

E04 means door open / lock fault. The door is not detected as closed or the lock failed, so the programme will not start..

Often fixable at home · Fault type: Electrical/hardware

Safe checks, in order of likelihood

  1. Check the door is fully closed and the latch area is clear.
  2. Unplug for 10 minutes to reset the lock electronics.
  3. If E04 returns, the door lock or its wiring is faulty.

Call a professional when…

Reset first; then the door lock is replaced. If the code returns after these checks, book a qualified engineer.
