The code was reading E41 which I though was the door lock assembly. I replaced the door lock assembly. The washer runs for a couple of seconds and then shuts down. There is no power at all. The only way to turn it back on is to unplug and re-plug.
Any guidance would be appreciated. Is this the end of the washer and I should just purchase another one; just not a Frigidaire? It is a tad over 3 years old.
Thank you.

These are pretty good machines for front loaders.
If the machine was running before you had the problem with the door lock assembly, it should be repairable and you should not need to spend money on a new one. The problem is this may be an easy and inexpensive repair to make but difficult one to diagnose
Your problem is somewhat difficult to diagnose, because it sounds like an electrical malfunction that is intermittent. I would take some contact cleaner and remove and reseat all of the connection on the control board, Motor Control board and door lock assembly. It may be that you have a loose or weak connection that is being temporarily broken by the operation of the machine.
If that does not fix it then when it goes down you are going to need a meter to see if voltage is getting to the CCU when it goes off. If it is, a new CCU may be the solution, an expensive one but still less than a new machine.
If you are still having problems after this, let us know the results of doing the above, and what the problem was before you replaced the door lock assembly. Sounds like you have the Tech Notes, but if you need a service manual let us know.
