Door Lock Switch Assembly
This assembly contains the solenoid and internal microswitches that physically engage the door hook. Over time, high-cycle fatigue in the return spring or contact carbonization prevents the pawl from retracting even when the control board de-energizes the circuit. This is the primary point of failure for front-load LG washers when the cycle has ended but the door remains physically seized.

Water Level Pressure Switch
This sensor converts air pressure from the tub into a frequency signal for the control board. If the sensor is stuck in a 'high frequency' state, the machine's firmware interprets this as the tub being full of water, which triggers a safety lockout of the door latch to prevent a flood. Replacing the sensor restores the correct atmospheric reference point needed for the unlock logic to execute.

Drain Pump Motor Assembly
If the washer fails to evacuate water effectively during the final spin phase, the logic controller will not release the door. Mechanical failure of the pump impeller or electrical failure of the motor windings leads to standing water in the sump; until the water level drops below the physical door threshold as reported by the pressure sensor, the door lock will remain energized.
