sometimes you just have to force the door but first try hitting the machine near the door lock sometimes this helps the door interlock may be stuck in the closed position

SOURCE: leaking door

get a thin rubber ring of the same diameter of the door and fix it around tightly then the water wont leak out

Well I have the manual. If you want it.If the problem is water leaking out the door LG recommends you shim the door latch with washers. This would make the door close tighter and eliminate leaks. See page 36

SOURCE: Problem with the LG WM1812C

Disconnect power and remove the top panel. Reach in for the door lock from the top then release the lock. Firmly close the door while unlocking then open it when a click is heard.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

If it is physically possible on your machine I would suggest that the door catch need adjusting, either that or it's broken but the door sensor still thinks it's OK ;-0)
Suggest a service call required ;-0)
Sorry,
