Door assembly needs replacing, can open door using old credit card/drivers licence, sliding between cabinet and door(toward centre area of handle-behind it), pushing the door lock in left hand direction, you can remove the items from machine.

Very likely your door latch has a problem. How it works is when a program is in progress, a signal from the motor inhibbits the door from opening. only when the final spin is completed will the signal be given to open. Briefly switch power off for about 10 seconds then awitch on and re try to open door. If no luck, switsh off power and take kick panel off at bottom front of washer..Normally there is a flat ribbon type pull cord that will allow the door to open when pulled.Once opened, reclose securely and retry"open door button"after this it gets a little technical and testing equipt. is needed.

LG Frontloader WD 1023c door not opening

If it won't unlock when powered down for a couple of minutes you will have to unplug the machine and then remove the top lid. you will then be able to access the rear of the door lock and pull the locking switch back to allow the door to be opened.

Maytag neptune mah3000aww washer. It cycles then sits at the end of spin, does not go off. then the door will not unlock. I turn to off, push off button. it is anyones guess if it opens

Possible that the door lock is not actuated to open after the end of the cycle and could be jammed. try using a degreasing spray like WD 40 and if there is any issue with the lock.

I pushed the 'pause' button during the wash cycle of my LG WD-3274HD and now the door won't open.

Hi!

The machine knows it dint't finish the washing cycle, and, because it may be possible that water is still a lot inside, the door is locked.
If you are shure the door can be opened without the water coming out by the door, simply disconnect it from the electrical supply and wait a few minutes until the door unlocks. (you will hear the unlock click)

Good luck!

My aged invalid mother has a front loading LG washer dryer combo and has washed the same garment 3 times and after wash cycle or drying cycle can't seem to get the door to open to remove the clothes. What...

Hi I hope you solved this by now but I thought an answer might be useful if anyone else has the same question. I am not an expert just an owner of a LG WD-1412RD. It sounds like your mum is not aware this is just the normal safety cool down period following drying (as the stainless steel interior gets very hot during drying). The Door lock sign (small red light) is on, and the display shows Cd during this time, then it beeps and the door unlocks by itself. If you need to remove your laundry earlier than this, you can press the START/PAUSE button to end the cycle (it still takes a couple of minutes). This is covered on p 21 - 22 of the owners manual. which can be downloaded from the LG site. http://www.lg.com/au/support/product/support-product-profile.jsp?customerModelCode=WD-1412RD&matchedModelCode=NOT_MATCHED&searchEngineModelCode=WD-1412RD&initialTab=documents&targetPage=support-product-profile#

Lg wd-8013, all lights on at end of cycle door wont open

It sounds like you have a faulty interlock. This is what locks the door during the wash cycle.Sometimes they won't unlock and need to be replaced. There may be a pull tab inside the pump access area at floor level to get door open....Not a big job for a tech......Nomess
