So the resistance across those pins was just over 1K ohms? If that's the case, I would look at the connectors that attach to the lock and see if they are corroded. Perhaps just take a small file or emory board to scuff them a bit to make sure they make good contact with the pins. If that doesn't work, you could try to follow those wires up to the control board to see how they connect there and verify a good connection there as well. It seems unlikely that the control board would only fail with the E41 error but perhaps. I'd certainly try the wires and connectors first though.
Hmm. I would take a look at the connectors to the door lock/latch. Perhaps they are corroded. The fact that it worked for you for a few days and then stopped might indicated that unplugging/plugging in the connectors helped for awhile. It seems like it should be possible to check this without re-sealing the gasket - i.e. unplug the connectors, plug them back in, and then power up the machine and see if you can get it to start/latch. If that isn't it, you could pull the door lock out and measure the resistance of the pins I show in the video. It seems unlikely the coil would fail that quickly but who knows? BTW, you can get a cheap ohmmeter from Harbor Freight for about $7 and it should work fine for this. You aren't looking for high precision.
I want to thank you for this video
same thing happened to mine and did the very same repair very helpful and saved me money 💰💰
Great Video .I have the E 41 and watching bills video I did all the test plug and it in so it's good .so what can it be the control board ?

Great video. Do you know if the axle bolt,that goes through the mount is tightened under pressure of the engine?
I don't follow: Axle bolt? Engine?
Thanks, you shure did help me with this video.....
I been having E41 for week now brought a new door latch worked for 3 days did it again. WTF any idea what might be the issue?

Thanks! I'll try that.
