[LG front load washing machine door] [Built-in models] The door does not open immediately.

Troubleshooting

For some built-in models, the door can be opened approximately 1-2 minutes after the washing cycle ends.

Try this

For related models, approximately 1-2 minutes are necessary for the door to open.

When the washing cycle ends normally

When the washing cycle ends normally, the washing machine prepares in advance to open the door when approximately 1-2 minutes remain before the spinning cycle ends, to ensure that the door can be opened immediately after the cycle ends.
If the temperature around the washing machine is high, the door may open later due to the presence of that high temperature.
First, check if a foreign object such as a steel wire is caught in the drain hole of the tub.
If there’s a foreign object, please remove it.

If the washing cycle ends abnormally

If the spinning cycle or the drying cycle is not carried out completely or the product operation ends abnormally, the door can be opened approximately 1-2 minutes later.
Since the cycle has ended abnormally, 1-2 minutes are necessary for the door to open as part of its program.
The door opening a little bit later is for customer safety and it is not a fault in the product.
