Which part do you expect to fail? and why?
Re: Error E40 on Zanussi ZWF14581W
Bought a new interlock and cleaned up the connector as best I could. Probably needed a new cable assembly really but that would have been another £20. Easy enough to fit but only lasted one wash without problem. On next wash it stopped with E40 whilst full with towels and water. Could see that interlock terminals (4&5) were beginning to blacken again. In my experience, this will normally only happen if there is a poor contact and is caused by arcing. Decided to take advice of helo_75. Bought a pack of good quality fully insulated blue crimp connectors. Fortunately I still had a crimp tool from a job I had 30 years ago. Slight problem due to bulkiness of these connectors so decided to cut the original connector in half and just use new crimp connectors for the 2 bad terminals. Has worked without incident for the last week of intensive catch-up washing. Thanks again for your help.

doesnt last long if the wiring has burnt
Are you saying that the interlock might be OK and I should just try replacing the current connector block with individual crimp connectors?
Re: Error E40 on Zanussi ZWF14581W
OK, Thanks Guys. I’ve removed the door seal nd removed the interlock. The cable connector and interlock terminations both show signs of overheating (dark brown, burnt) around pins 4 and 5. The cable itself looks oK. Do you think I will get away with just changing the interlock switch or should I replace the cable too. Is there a way of checking which bit has actually caused the problem?
