A LG dishwasher shares most of its basic parts with other dishwashers, but its filter design, drying system, controls and error codes are specific to the brand. We flag companies whose listing or website mentions LG and fill in with nearby appliance repair companies so you always have options.
Independent listings only: Dishwasher Repairs is not affiliated with or endorsed by LG. If your dishwasher is still under manufacturer coverage, contact LG directly.

Know Your LG Dishwasher
How LG Dishwashers Are Built
Dynamic Heat Dry models have a dedicated heat-dry fan motor and heat-dry temperature sensing, each with its own fault code. Source: LG USA Support - [LG Dishwasher] Guide to Error Codes
QuadWash models run four spray arms rather than two, so a blocked or damaged arm is one of several parts a tech checks for poor cleaning. Source: LG USA - 24 Inch Smart Dishwasher with QuadWash and Adjustable 3rd Rack, 44dB
What LG Says to Check First
- Dishwasher not cleaning. LG points first to scraping large food scraps and loading so dishes don't overlap or block the spray arms, then cleaning the filter and spray arms. Source: LG USA Support - Why Your LG Dishwasher Isn't Cleaning Dishes Well and How to Fix It
- Dishwasher making noise. LG treats fill whistling and some air-sucking sounds as normal, says rattling usually means loose dishes or an unseated filter, and flags squealing or grinding as a possible pump problem. Source: LG USA Support - LG Dishwasher Noises
LG Dishwasher Error Codes

|---|---|
| OE | The tub is not draining fully, often from a clogged filter or a pinched drain hose. Source: LG USA Support - [LG Dishwasher] Guide to Error Codes |
