Here's what I would do:
Take the two screws off the back plastic parts which are attached to the top cover. Leave the ones in that go into the cover, just remove the bottom one on each side.
Now, standing in front of the machine, use the palms of your hands to sharply push back the top cover (pushing on the right and left edge of the top). It only moves about two inches. Now, lift the cover off.
Use a flashing to try to see into the semi opaque dispenser to determine where the hang up is.
Drill a small hole in the top of the dispenser chamber to allow you to poke an object like a screw driver in to manuver the offending part of the dispenser, allowing removal of the dispenser drawer. Use a peice of foil duct tape to seal the hole you previously drilled.

Detergent dispenser is stuck and cannot open on LG Tromm washing machine

There is a small tab that one has to press down to unlock the retainer clip.
Press this down while pulling the tray outward.

Lg tromm washer leaks from detergent drawer

my washer also was leaking from the dispenser and I had a cap from one of the detergent bottles stuck in the inlet hose. Don't know how it got in there but glad I found it so if your washer leaks from the soap tray it could be a cap from your detergent bottle stuck in there.

I have LG ,Tromm washer machine front load have problem. Door is not closing completely .

The "dE" error code indicates that the LG Tromm washer's door has not been properly closed. Closing the door firmly usually clears this error. If the error does not go away once the doors closed, a service technician should be consulted.

How do i get the mold out?

A lot of times liquid detergent and liquid fabric softener will cause this. Dry the door seal after use and leave the door open. Don' t use bleach if you're on a septic system. There are products that are septic safe to clean the mold. Powdered detergent and not closing it up after using should help a lot

LG Tromm Washer

Wash empry with detergent and double bleach with extra hot water. When cycle is complete open the door to the washer and let airdry. When you close the door with it wet it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. You may also not be using the correct detergent or the correct amount of detergent.

Laundry Detergent not being added

You will need to have a qualified LG technician come and diagnose this problem.  It sounds like a water valve is not opening up.
