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.
