The LG dishwasher looks sleek and typically cleans your dishes well, but it is not completely invincible. After extensive use of your LG dishwasher, you may need kitchen appliance repair . Sometimes you can troubleshoot your LG dishwasher problems, but some problems can only be resolved through using LG appliance repair provided by a skilled technician.
LG Technology
The LG Diamond Collection dishwasher comes with unique features and innovative technology that differs from other dishwasher models. The LG dishwasher TruSteam technology is a part of the LG control panel interface. These are a few of the common error codes that are prevalent. If you cannot troubleshoot your dishwasher issue you will need a repairman that is familiar with the LG dishwasher brand and LG appliance parts.
Control Panel Problems
If you see the LE error code, this is a problem pertaining to the code panel. If you feel confident, you can check the wires by removing the control panel. After viewing that the wires are in place, secure the control panel once again. Simply clear the LE error code by pressing and holding down the Start and Pause button. After approximately five seconds, the device should reset.
Wash Pump Problems
The E1 error signals that the LG dishwasher has complications with the wash pump. Signs could include that the water is not draining or that there is not enough water coming out of the pump to properly clean your dishes. A water pump that is not functioning properly can lead to a leaking dishwasher. It is always wise to check the filter and make sure that it is free of food and debris. You also should check and make sure that the drain is clean and free from obstruction.
If you run a cycle listen for the wash pump, make sure that it does come on but that it does not run too long. However, this error code may interrupt you from running the complete cycle. Immediately cancel the cycle and turn off the dishwasher to avoid further complications. After a moment, feel free to turn the dishwasher back on. Try to experiment by running a rinse cycle. If the wash pump continues to un after the cycle is complete, turn off the dishwasher. Let the dishwasher sit for a least a few minutes before attempting to run another short rinse cycle. If the wash pump still runs after the cycle, turn off the dishwasher once again. Leave the dishwasher door open overnight. You can try running a short rinse again tomorrow. If you try again without avail, the wash pump is faulty. You will need a repairman to install the proper LG parts.
Drainage Issues
Dishwashers can also have drainage issues. The LG control panel presents this as a DE error. When water just sits in the tub well after a cycle has completed the most obvious culprit is a clogged drain, blocked outlet or clogged filter. Make sure that the drain hose is not compromised by a kink. The garbage disposal can be the source of this problem as well. Food could be caught near the sink connection or the dishwasher connection. Check the basin and make sure that a stray utensil or clump of food is not clogging the drain itself.
If you cannot find the obstruction, you will need a appliance repair man to resolve this problem.
