Sometimes called the washer s door hinge the door lock assembly has three key components.
Lg washer door hinge problem.
The hinge is pushing the door away from the seal causing the leak.
As the washer is in operation it begins to leak and the only way to stop it is by pushing in the left side of the door hinge side.
A safety switch that detects whether the washer door is closed a latch and a locking mechanism.
The door lock secures the washer door shut during operation.
If any of these components stops working when you have the door open the door won t lock.

Please try again later.
Again if i push the hinge side in the leak stops but the tension of the hinge pushes the door away from the seal.
I am not sure i understand the question but if i have a preference i would like for it to swing to the right as you face the machine.
Door lock can fail either mechanically or electrically.
Replace the washer door hinge.
Once the washer door is closed the washer can begin operating.
If you look at the door the right side is much tighter than the left side.
