The LG machine can go on but doesn't show the lock key. So it can't wash. I changed the door lock switch with a new one but still it goes on but doesn't show the door is locked.

Try spin only and see if that works. What's the model number of your washer?

SOURCE: Fixing broken door lock of Indesit W123X washing Machine

no easy way to open
disconnect from mains
take top off. feel down the front to where the door lock is and see if you can feel the door peg sticking thro the door interlock. force this with your fingers and with luck the door will open
if can't do this way, break handle off and lever peg with a small screwdriver
you can buy a handle kit complete. fitting this is not difficult - split the door and all will be revealed advise you make a carefull note of where springs go etc before you start stripping it down or take a few fotos if you have a digicam

SOURCE: Washing machine door lock problem

Just try to check the door latch device. Be sure that the latch is not bound or sticking in any way .This problem with a lot of machines and it almost always was the door lock latch assembly. It has a switch inside it that pauses or stops the cycle if the door is not closed properly, when this switch malfunctions then it will pause or stop the cycle repeatedly; just from the small movement of the wash cycle. The door will actually be shut all the way and the lock may be on. You must replaced this switch so it works normal again..
Just click for the spare parts site link;

Hope it may help you;

SOURCE: lg washing machine wm-1460fhd door locked wont

We have a WM-1480FHD, with the door stuck shut. It appears the door release mechanism in the actual door has broken, so when you pull the lver part, the catch is not released. You need to get a very flat knife,insert between the door and the front of the machine, right in the middle behind the release handle and push the hook towards the right side of the machine.Once open, you can check the release mechanism in the actual door. Ours is broken, so need to sort out how to repair/replace it next!

EWW12742 electrolux door not opening after beeping

5.5 Opening The Door (from user manual)

While a program or the 'Delay Start' is
operating, the appliance door is locked and
the display shows the indicator 'key symbol '.
First set the machine to PAUSE by pressing
the "Start/Pause" touchpad. Wait until the
door lock indicator 'the key symbol ' goes off, then the
door can be opened.
If the door lock indicator 'the key symbol ' does not
disappear, this means that the machine is
already heating and the water level is above
the bottom edge of the door or the drum is
turning. In this case the door CAN NOT be
opened.
If you can not open the door but
you need to open it you have to
switch the machine off by turn the
program selector knob to the
position " 0 " to deactivate the
appliance. After about 5 minutes the
door can be opened.
CAUTION !
Pay attention to the water level and water temperature.

DE code, machine will not run. door working properly

DE indicates a door lock error.

Either the door lock, wiring or main control board can cause this fault. The door lock is relatively inexpensive so it would be worth trying a new door lock first.

Check the wiring between the door lock and the control board. If a new door lock doesn't fix it and the wiring is ok you are only left with the control board.

Hope this helps.

My washing machine LG WFT type showing dE error. understand it is door error. I want to know where the door switch is located.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

You're correct- 'de' does stand for Door Error. There is likely to be a problem with either the lid/door solenoid/lock or the 'lid/door closed' sensor. Both are behind where the door's latch goes requiring a service engineer's attention I suggest ;-0(

If this has assisted and/or clarified the situation for you please consider a 4 thumbs up on our rating.
Thanks and good luck!

I have a LG WD - 1049C front loader washing machine showing the DE error have emptied out the washing machine and it still comes up, partner bought a new door latch and installed it but the DE is still...

DE error does mean the door latch,but there are three parts that could cause the error code.If you have changed the door lock already then the main p.c.b/computer board has failed and not registering the door lock but there is a 5-10% chance it's the wiring connecting the two parts together.So basically you need to change the main p.c.b & if that doesn't work it needs to be rewired.unless you know how to use a multi-meter then you could test the wiring for a definate answer.THANKS ECO KIZZA

My lg front loading washing machine does not start

sounds like you have a faulty door lock and it will not turn on if it cannot lock, you will need to get it replaced. Look around at different repair shops as some charge more than others
