The door on LG front loader washing machine won’t unlock

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.

Front loader leaking out the front door as is clothing stuck in it, How can we release the door lock. We've stopped the cycle.

Restart the machine...

On a NEW CYCLE... The first thing the machine
should attempt to do... is to drain itself.

If it does not...

UNPLUG IT... Restart it on a spin cycle ... or regular
wash cycle...

Washer won't work and door is locked shut with clothes inside. Can I get the door open manually?

turn off . turn off power point. Wait 3 minutes then turn on power point. Try blowing on drain pipe then turn dial to spin cycle .
See if water pump is engaged during spin cycle.
Don't know if you can manually open the door
Had a similar problem and found the water pump was not pumping the water out and spin cycle was failing to complete.
Check filter of front loader as well .

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.

Washer will not spin The washer is a frigidaire front loader model LTF2140E53. will cycle through all settings, but will not spin. Cycle ends with clothes soaked.

I have thata probelm a lot too. I have read that the controls don't sense that the door fully shut. You might try slamming it shut, jiggling the door, poking in the hole where the latch goes. When mine won;t spin, slamming and jiggling works.

Please help! My samsung 7kg J845 front loader keeps flashing UE on the error code (spin cycle) and I can't open the door. Sarah

Hi, I have the same washing machine and it flashes UE on the error code during spin cycle when I have one thing in there, or if the clothes are uneven. I usually have to wait until the lock light goes out, re-arrange the clothes and continue spin cycle. If it is just one item in there, I usually have to manually wring it out as it will keep saying error if I keep trying to spin.

GE Front Loader Washer - Not washing

It sound like a lid switch issue. If the lid switch is defective, your washer can't spin and may not function at all. The switch is inside the washing machine main housing near the door frame. Often you have to raise or open the top or front of the washer to get to the switch. Look that the switch is not broken or loose. If all is fine, you should replace the switch. Good luck!
