LG Dishwasher Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- 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
