Hi, Make sure it is plugged in properly, and let the cycle finish correctly. Try advancing the cycle control knob ( if it has one). I need a bit more info...

    Sorry, it's a bit early here still, can you please repost your question, inc how long the machine has been idle, and whether there appears to be any power to the unit at all?

Samsung wf8750lsw front loader door wont open

Not sure if you mean when it is fully off or operating, but if you mean that once it is operating the door won't open, then the following applies...

Once a front loader wash cycle starts, the door on a front loader is physically (electronically) locked until the full cycle ends after spin dry. This is to prevent anyone opening the door and letting all the water out in the middle of the wash cycle, which a lot of people try to do to put in more clothing etc.

I have the LG wm2487h*ma front load washer.My washer is filling up with water when not in use. When I wash a load, the water does not go in the washer. Have opened the door thinking the wash cycle is done...

The problem would appear to be the water inlet solenoid valve.
The valve is not operating correctly for some reason allowing water into the machine even when switched off

Door will not close

Hi,

Make sure you are allowing the washer to completely finish its cycle before opening the door. It is normal for the door to lock at the end of a cycle. The locking mechanism keeps owners from opening the door before all of the water has been drained. If the door on the washer is locked, select the "Drain" or "Spin" options on the front-load washer. This will completely drain the water from the system and unlock the door, allowing you to open it.
Thank you !!

Door is locked! Won't open! Laundry is stuck inside!

If the water has not completely emptied, this wont allow the door to open. Check by lowering the outlet hose into a bowl. If a fair amount of water comes the problem is likely to be a pump blockage
