Washing machine LG wt5001cw won't turn on.

It stopped and locked. I was able to pry off the top to unlock the door. When I press the power button, it plays a very quiet tone. It's normally louder. There is no display, and I cannot get it to function in any way. The outlet does have power. I replaced the electronic control board and the noise filter. No change.

SOURCE: samsung sw51asp top loader washing machine

I had the same problem and from bit of research dE probably means door error. It turns out to be the reed (magnetic) switch was not functioning properly so wasn't closing the circuit when the door is closed.
DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE BASIC UNDERSTAND OF ELECTRICITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of you may really harm yourself.
To test if your problem is the reed switch then 1. Turn AC power OFF, unplug from wall 2. HAVE YOU TURNED THE POWER OFF? 3. Unscrew two visible screws on the back of the machine near the top 4. Take back lid off by pull up which will expose all the wires at the back 5. Put your head in the drum and look to the right under the edge you will see two wires (may be blue) connecting to a small rectangular grey unit (reed sw) 6. Follow the wires back to the back where all the wires are you will find there is a clip joiner - unplug it. 7. Use a multimeter (if you have one other wise skip to step 8) put the probes across the wires coming from the reed switch and you should find the circuit opens and closes as the washing machine lid is opened and closed. If it does not then pretty sure the reed switch is not working then follow step 8 to short it and test. 8. Another method is just to short the wires by jamming a wire across the connector that goes to the machine and NOT the connector to the reed switch This will bypass the reed switch detection so will always be a closed circuit. But since it still has a lever door open detection system it doesn't really matter.
Try a washing cycle to see if it has fixed the problem.
If you have the means then replace the broken reed switch by buying another one from your local shop.
If your problem with the dE error is not with the reed switch then it may be with the lever system which I have no experience with.

The machine has to reset to bringg tthe lock to release, check the link to the lock settings to make the program complete the cycle and release the lock. Do not force it as you end up damaging.

If the washing machine malfunctions or you need to stop the cycle and retrieve the clothing, you can force the door to unlock.
  • Open the door after the "Door Lock" indicator turns off. ...
  • Press the "On/Off" button, if the washer is not already on.
  • Select the "Spin Speed" button to turn on the Drain & Speed cycle.
  • or go to this link and have a read up.

Was doing laundry, machine just stopped. Full of water and clothes. Checked breaker, plugged in.... Will make power up music tone, but no lights on control panel. What to do?

The fact that the machine power up tone is audible indicates that the machine is receiving power which eliminates the fuse problem. I suspect that the main control PC board is faulty.

My two year old LG Top loader washer wt5001cw completed it cycle and shut off. The latch will not open now and it won't turn back on. HELP!

Use a putty knife to lift top. Insert between cabinet and top in front. There is one on the left and the right. Then the top should lift up and be able to at least get your clothes out.
