How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not force the door open with tools that can break the glass. Unplug the unit before internal work.

  • 1. Wait and reset:
    • Wait a few minutes after cycle end; some models delay unlock.
    • Unplug the unit for 5 minutes, then plug back in and try again.
  • 2. Check for water in drum:
    • If water is visible, run a Drain+Spin cycle or manually drain via the pump filter.
  • 3. Use emergency release:
    • Open the lower front access panel.
    • Locate and pull the manual door release tab or cord (if equipped).
  • 4. Replace door lock if recurrent:
    • If the problem repeats, replace the LG door lock assembly as described in dE2.
