LG Washing Machine Door Not Closing – Mermaid Waters

A customer in Mermaid Waters contacted ISB Electrical because their LG washing machine door was not closing properly. The appliance could not start the wash cycle because the door latch was not locking correctly.

When a front loader washing machine door does not close or lock, the machine will usually prevent the cycle from starting for safety reasons. The fault can be caused by a broken door latch, damaged door handle, misaligned door, faulty door lock, worn hinge, damaged strike plate or obstruction around the door seal.

Inspection and Diagnosis

• Checked the washing machine power supply and safety condition
• Confirmed the LG washing machine door was not closing correctly
• Inspected the door latch and locking area
• Checked the door handle and hinge alignment
• Checked the door strike and lock engagement
• Confirmed the door latch was broken
• Replaced the faulty door latch
• Tested the washing machine after repair

Fault Found

The fault was caused by a broken door latch. Because the latch was damaged, the door could not close and lock properly, preventing the LG washing machine from starting a normal wash cycle.

A broken latch can also cause the machine to display a door lock fault, stop before starting, or repeatedly try to lock without success.

Repair Completed

The faulty door latch was replaced. After replacement, the door was checked for correct closing and locking operation.

The LG washing machine was tested after the repair to confirm the door locked properly and the machine was able to start and operate normally.
