My door will not lock and due to this the machine will not start. I found that if I push the latch over in the lock manually when the doors open it starts. For some reason it won't do this automatically. Can anyone help?
You either have to change the whole lock assembly, or just fix the catch magnet which might be malfunctioning. In parts shouldn't be more than 100$. you can try looking for the part here: http://www.repairclinic.com/ Good luck

have to hit the top of the door to engage the lock and it is getting worse
Door closes fine on my LG washer, all settings light up properly and I can program everything fine, the door seems to be latching although the door light will not light up therefore when I push the start knob no action and door lock light still is not lighting
I have same problem, there is power but when I press start the door won't lock or fill with water.
