Most likely a bad water pressure sensor or a plugged tube. check repairclinic.com or appliancepartspros.com for info, videos that show you how to fix.

SOURCE: Washer won't fast spin or drain

The drain line is probably clogged. Maybe that a small sock or other piece of clothing get between the clothes tub and the outer tub that holds the water. If the clothing gets between the tubs, it may then get into the drain hose that's attached to the pump. To remove it from the outer tub port, open the washer's main access panel and remove the large-diameter rubber hose that connects the pump to the bottom of the outer tub and try to remove the clothing through the port. Good luck

SOURCE: Walking Washer

The best way to fix this problem is to adjust the front legs while the machine is spinning a full wash load.  Put in a load of clothes and run the machine to get the clothes nice and wet.  It will take about 5 minutes to get them completely wet.  Next, turn the washer off.  Now, turn the washer back on and push the spin button to select the extra fast speed.  You washer will go into a drain mode and then begin to toss the load into a balance spin mode.  Once the washer is spinning the clothes, check the balance of the unit by pushing the front left corner of the washer towards the right rear corner and right front corner towards the left rear corner.  If the sound of the washer quiets down on one side vs the other side, adjust the front leg to quiet that side.  Do not attempt to adjust the rear legs as they do not require adjustments at all.  Everything adjusts on the front legs.  
This procedure works if the floor is sturdy enough.  If the floor is old and the wood is weak, it will not work.

SOURCE: Front loader will not spin

The problem is the door latch assembly. You can get it at your local parts supplier or oder it through repairclinic.com. Should cost $50-$55. My hubby is replacing mine now. Not an easy part to replace, but by all information I have gathered from the manufacturer and the parts department, this is a common problem and most likely the cause of the machine not spinning. It runs through all the rest of the cycles, but will not spin, even on spin only cycle. The good news... if you replace the door latch assembly once, the replacement part is much stronger than the original and shouldn't have to be replaced again.

SOURCE: LG WM2688HM front loader is leaking water around the door seal

this may be coming from the soap dispenser and running down round the door way and to the bottom- investigate that first. otherwise the seal may be worn/ damaged and needs replacing.

DOOR WILL NOT OPEN IN MY WASHER

Operating as designed
(I'd suspect... NO Make or Model came thru with your question)

Picture shows a front loader...

They try to protect your laundry room from flooding.

Try Power cycling

Turn off... then back on.. WAIT.

Remove power cord... wait.

Re-plug... start machine "spin only"...

The machine should try to pump out water...??

If all else fails...
Read the MANUAL or IDENTIFY the
machine (IN a NEW POSTING)... or call a
REPAIR SERVICE.

My washer is 7 years old. During a wash cycle, it overfilled so much that the door opened and flooded the laundry room. After turning it off, the machine continued to fill. My guess is that there is a fill...

Hi, just read about your problem. Need to have you go to the bottom of front of washer. It may be visible or you may have to take kickplate off. Position pan underneath filter. Slowly turn counterclockwise and water will start to come out. When pan is partially full, empty. Repeat until no more water comes out. Unscrew and remove filter and clean. Reinstall. Other possibility is a bad pressure switch? Hope this helps.

Door pops open during wash cycle

this is joyce
What I would do in this situation is fix the door lock first before I would do another load of clothes. you can go to Kenmore.com put in your model # and download your manual to your machine if you want to fix yourself
or you can call service tech out. I will help you find one in your area if you need.
thanks,
joyce

Washer door opens with hinges on the left

Don't you think it would really boost sales if you did make a washer that the front loader door could open left to right . For homes that have very limited laundry room. and no way to switch.
