Plain language
What this code means
E49 is a door or lid incongruence: two sensing signals that do not agree.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
