How can i open the door on my washing machine it wont open

hi Margaret.
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.

LG front loader washing machine wont unlock Google Search

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.

You will need to remove the drum and reset the alignment.
The cloth is struck and has jammed on the drum movement.

On a Bosch wfmc3200uc there is a green plastic string, similar to fishing line, located behind the round panel on the front of the machine. It is attached to the top right of the round black piece. Just give a slight tug this will release the lock.
